Research will also be very present with the Follow-up Conference on PhD Research in Computer Science (JSIDI) where postgraduate students will present their research and technological advances in the world of Information Technology.
In addition, the organization has launched other activities for students of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), Baccalaureate and Training Cycles in order to promote the study of Computer Science in the pre-university environment.
Among these activities, theWorkshops for young programmers‘ with which it is intended to encourage and motivate women in the study of Engineering, in such a way that students of 4th ESO, 1st year of Baccalaureate and 1st year of Training Cycles will carry out two of the four workshops offered. The first of them, ‘Program and dance with the NAO robot‘ is intended for female students to learn how to create a dance choreography by programming the NAO humanoid robot.
