ORT Technical School, Almagro campus, has organized a six-day Technological Workshop for primary schools. The boys and girls who visited us shared activities where they could explore, design, build, and learn by playing. During the visit, the children worked in small groups to solve challenges related to the design and construction of machine-robots. They designed some mechanical parts and, by making decisions on programming, they managed to attain the objective of controlling vehicles ("small ball launchers"). They even assembled rockets propelled by water and air pressure; and with simple materials (like plastic soft drink bottles), they built rockets, which rose swiftly at more than 100 km per hour, reaching heights of more than 30 meters. Finally, they took part in sporting activities.
