Abordaje de ciudades sostenibles mediante la robótica en comunidades fronterizas de la Zona Norte de Costa Rica

This article shares the experience generated by an extension project in border towns of Costa Rica, which is an alliance between the local government of the Canton of Upala and the public university. The objective of this project is to reduce the technological gap in the districts of Las Delicias, Central and
San José de Upala through robotics, programming and creative reading using the theme of sustainable cities as a transversal axis. A strategy based on the STEAM approach is implemented, which promotes interdisciplinary learning through practical works-
hops and didactic guides. During the implementation of the project, significant achievements were made, such as the participation of students and the transfer of knowledge on sustainable cities and robotics. Teachers and librarians were trained to replicate the workshops autonomously, ensuring the
long-term sustainability of the project.
