The Local Government Board of Lebrija has approved the extension of the teaching contract for the Municipal Robotics Classroom, ensuring the programme's continuity until 2027.
The Lebrija City Council has approved the extension of the teaching services contract for the Municipal Robotics Classroom, Programming and 3D Printing, an initiative that has been bringing technological training to children and young people in the municipality since 2023. The agreement, ratified by the Local Government Board, extends the service for another two years, until 2027, and keeps the company How I Learned Code S.L. responsible for the programme.
The company, which was awarded the contract in 2024 through a simplified open procedure, will continue to conduct the workshops and activities that have made this classroom an educational reference in the region. With this extension, the council ensures the stability of a project that has managed to establish itself despite its short history.
The Municipal Robotics Classroom is aimed at students aged between 7 and 17 and offers training in programming, robotics, applied electronics with Minecraft, as well as design and 3D printing. The goal is not only to teach digital tools but also to develop skills such as computational thinking, creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and logical reasoning.
One of the pillars of the project is equal opportunities. The programme aims to reduce the digital divide by facilitating access to quality technological training for children from any socioeconomic background. Additionally, it promotes female participation in scientific and technological disciplines by incorporating female role models and methodologies that help combat gender stereotypes.
The continuity of the classroom represents a boost for technological training in Lebrija, a municipality that is committed to preparing young people for the challenges of an increasingly digital society. With the extension, families in the municipality will be able to continue relying on this educational resource without interruptions.
The registration period for the new course will open at the end of August. Interested families will be able to apply for a place for their children and be part of an initiative that, according to the City Council, aims to improve digital skills and foster scientific and technological vocations.
The decision comes at a time when the demand for technological training continues to grow. In Lebrija, the classroom has become a key tool for children to acquire skills that will be essential for their academic and professional futures.
The extended contract guarantees the provision of the service for two more years, a period that will allow for the consolidation of the results achieved so far and the expansion of the training offer if necessary. The company How I Learned Code S.L. has been responsible for developing the programme since 2024, and its continuity brings stability to the project.
The council highlights the pioneering nature of this initiative, which was one of the first of its kind in the province of Seville. The Municipal Robotics Classroom not only teaches programming but also works on electronics, 3D design, and the use of tools like Minecraft in an educational environment.
Training in robotics and programming has become an increasing demand from families, who see these disciplines as an opportunity for their children to develop valuable skills. The extension of the contract responds to this demand and reinforces the City Council's commitment to technological education.
The programme also addresses the reduction of the digital divide, an aspect that is particularly relevant in rural areas or those with fewer resources. By offering quality and accessible training, the classroom contributes to ensuring that all children in Lebrija have the same future opportunities.
Female participation is another key aspect of the project. By incorporating female role models in the sessions and specific methodologies, the aim is to spark girls' interest in scientific and technological careers, which have traditionally been male-dominated.
Families wishing to enroll their children should stay alert for the opening of the registration period at the end of August. Places are limited, and high demand is expected, as has been the case in previous editions. The City Council will inform through its official channels about the requirements and the registration procedure.
With this extension, Lebrija reaffirms its commitment to digital education and to providing young people with the necessary tools to face future challenges. The continuity of the Municipal Robotics Classroom is good news for the municipality and for all families who trust in this initiative.
