Resumen

Nowadays, robotics and technology are increasingly present in different areas of human development. New technologies are entering the field of education, where the student acquires and develops skills to solve solutions. This article presents the development of robotic prototype projects as an apprenticeship for higher education so that students can develop didactic and playful activities, using low-cost robotics, thus encouraging creativity, logical thinking, robot programming, teamwork, and problem-solving. The methodology used was experimental through learning sessions in which 100 students participated, and a rubric and checklist were used for evaluation, carrying out a quantitative analysis. Significant differences were observed in the performance of the five groups when completing an activity. The calculated means showed on average, 10 students achieved the activity without help, 7.4 students achieved with minimal help, and 2.6 students achieved with considerable help. It was concluded that the proposed learning was accepted by the students, and its application allowed detection of students’ difficulties when interacting with robotics and Arduino. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
