about the innovation
Kids Media Lab - Technologies and learning programming in preschool age
What we do?
The Kids Media Lab Project is based on a postdoctoral research whose main research question is to understand: How do children learn to program at preschool age?
In this way, we promote programming and robotics learning in formal and informal learning environments.
Why we do it?
We do not want to create programmers, but to prepare children for their future lives, given that technologies are playing an increasingly important role.
Learning by playing and knowing by investigating are our ways of working.
