26 November 2019

Over 90 young Basque people will find out about our most innovative solutions around the city

FIRST LEGO League presents in its new edition, the CITY SHAPER challenge: building better environments to live and work in. This year, teams of schoolchildren from all over the world will have to analyse a problem related to a building or a public space in their community and propose an innovative solution.

We are joining the challenge, receiving more than 90 schoolchildren between the ages of 12 and 15 from the centres of Begoñazpi, Urdaneta, San Fidel de Gernika, CLIP Innovación Educativa, Lorditronik and Santa María de Portugalete on 21 and 29 November and 2 December. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about our solutions for Positive Energy Buildings, including a visit to the KUBIK infrastructure.

FIRST LEGO League Euskadi

This STEAM Education programme, a benchmark in the Basque Country, awakens interest in science and technology, develops the skills required for the digital world, and promotes values such as discovery, innovation, inclusion and teamwork among Basque youth.

  • It is supported by a public-private collaboration network.
  • The themed challenge is contextualised within the socio-economic reality of the Basque Country.
  • It is an exclusive training programme for the Basque tournament
  • with an international scope and projection.
  • The event is a celebration of science, technology and innovation.

Hand in hand with the Basque Innovation Agency - Innobasque, this new edition of FIRST LEGO League Euskadi meets a twofold objective:

  • To stimulate interest in “STEM” careers and skills (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
  • To contribute to the development of digital and cross-cutting skills that young people will need as professionals.

At TECNALIA we consider it fundamental to promote innovative solutions to improve the quality of life in our cities, generating developments in collaboration with the industries in our environment.
