The event was attended by Víctor Cardona, director of CSR and Communication of the Caja de Ingenieros Foundation, and Eduard de Torres, coordinator of the program who explained to the students the dynamics of operation and what contents will be found in the different classes.

The course has six sessions distributed in 3 technological areas: Development of mobile applications, Robotics at the Service of People and Internet Technologies and Cybersecurity. In these different areas you will learn to program simple applications with free tools, know the technologies that make the current connection possible and learn to create and control robots with different utilities. The classes of the program are taught on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and will last until November 2018.

The objective of "Talent and New Technologies" is to promote the technological and innovative spirit among students, which will allow them to get in touch with technological advances in the ICT sector (Information and Communication Technologies), and that will help them see firsthand what is the work done by an engineer in sectors of activity with a great development in the coming years and with a shortage of professionals across Europe.
