"Sustainable City": A Steam Project Using Robotics to Bring the City of the Future to Primary Education Students

This article presents a STEAM project, "Sustainable City", based on educational robotics whose objective is to bring the problems of climate change closer to primary school students. The participants were 30 students (aged 10-11) from 5th year of Primary Education and the project consisted of 14 sessions in which different active methodologies such as project-based learning, collaborative learning and the flipped classroom were carried out. A pre-test and a post-test were carried out and the results were better in the post-test, which indicates that the students improved their skills and increased their motivation. As a conclusion, this STEAM project, which is adapted to the Spanish LOMCE curriculum, can be a reference for other teachers to bring their students closer to the problem of environmental change through educational robotics and the use of active methodologies.
