520 _aIn Argentina, the incorporation of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) to the classrooms is manifested in many different ways. In most of the cases, it is present when teaching of tools and products which are mainly oriented to Offimatics and Internet access. Although these tools are extremely necessary in today's world, they themselves are not sufficient to stimulate the interest of the students in ICTs. The schools that teach programming generally do so by means of traditional techniques, such as procedural languages, in the likes of Pascal or C, or event oriented visual languages, such as Visual Basic. This article presents a proposal to bring the new technologies to the classroom in an untraditional way. It consists of using personal robots for the resolution of problems by means of the development of algorithms written in Python. The robots which would be used have sensors and a digital camera, by means of which they allow to manipulate and program dynamic trajectories, and work on the images captured by them. On the other hand, the use of Python [1] allows to introduce free software philosophical concepts to students and teachers, an activity which the UNLP has been promoting for many years. [2][3][4] This proposal is based on the RobotEducation[5] initiative presented in the event “Latinamerican Academic Summit 2008” organized by Microsoft Research in the city of Panama. From this experience we will adapt the manuals and resources available to the particular characteristics of our region. This article explains the process of adequation and adaptation of the required teaching resources, as well as the update of the curricula in the involved schools. We will describe the pilot school selection mechanisms and the training process undergone by the teachers in order to implement this project in the classrooms. This is an innovative training proposal, in which complex knowledge such as problem resolution and programming are transmitted by means of simple tools and mechanisms which stimulate and promote the teaching process and the creativity of the students in the formulation of the activities to be performed with the robots.
