GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

Creating Video Games

CREATING VIDEO GAMES

Students of JUNIOR CODING IN-A-BOX will take complete and free video games of some complexity, which will gradually increase.

Arduino Junior Projects

ARDUINO PROJECTS

They will also program various Arduino projects adapted to the age of each group.

Talleres complementarios / Complementary workshops

3D MODELLING, ELECTRONICS AND INTERACTIVITY

The courses will be complemented with workshops on 3D modelling, augmented reality or electronic board programming (development will be done with simulators unless the school has the hardware).
