Resumen
Resumen. En este artículo, se presenta la experiencia de un grupo de docentes de la Escuela de Informática de la Universidad Nacional en acercar la robótica educativa a los jóvenes de primaria y secundaria en regiones dentro y fuera de la gran área metropolitana de Costa Rica. Actualmente, esta unidad académica cuenta con 30 equipos de robots Lego NXT MINDSTORMS donados1 en el año 2012 por parte de la compañía Lego de Dinamarca. Con estos equipos se trabajó con grupos del curso Fundamentos de Informática para mejorar el aprendizaje en lenguajes de programación. Sin embargo, se presentaron solicitudes de colegios y escuelas interesadas en esta tecnología. De esta forma nace la iniciativa de docentes de la Escuela de Informática para fortalecer el área de extensión.
