In Montevideo, 15 centers will participate in the training and instruction phases, while at the Maldonado and Paysandú sites, there will be 10 centers per site during the first two phases.
This activity stems from the project "Experiencing Science and Technology—Robotics at the High School Level" led by André Fonseca, Ph.D., Professor of Analog Electronics and Automatic Control at the School of Engineering, presented in collaboration with the CTC Technological Institute and Microsoft Uruguay in response to the National Agency for Research and Innovation’s call for proposals titled “Support for Programs to Promote Science, Technology, and Innovation,” which received funding approval in October 2008.
