  Valletta, Malta http://rie2018.info April 18, 2018 How we can teach Educational Robotics to foster 21st learning skills through PBL, Arduino and S4A?

  Rotterdam, Netherlands https://www.slideshare.net/profealexandrasierr/zoomeditation-project December 12, 2016 Zoomeditation project was presented in Hackathon (Netherlands). This project can help people improve their levels of situational empathy (change in heart rate). This project can used by several meditation exercises where the characters are virtual animals, but that this anchored to devices like digital clocks to do breathing exercises, laughter and others. Also, we used a facial movement recognition to design exercises. 

  Eindhoven, Netherlands http://www.sciencehackdayeindhoven.nl/?page_id=1647 May 23, 2016 I developed the xboxing project. We used old tires to create an interactive game for children called Xboxing. This was developed with Arduino and S4A (educational software) that allowed developing a game that challenges the ability to give blows to the tires in a specific time. This game allow that children learn to conserve the environment, they can learn to programming, make exercise and develop their creative skills. In the future, we will develop an economic product of boxing for children and we will give workshops for the development of programming in games for children. Xboxing  project won free tickets to Startup Summer School. The mobility prize was won by DNI.  Next to the monetary prize, the top three winners presented their prototypes at the  High Tech Capital event .  Science Hack Day Eindhoven 2016.

Place:   Madrid, Spain URL: http://sobrelaeducacion.com/congreso/ Date: July 9, 2015 I was invited to attend the conference to present their work and play a critical organizational role in the conference by leading discussions, chairing parallel sessions, and providing assistance in session rooms. My conference was called: The research processes: Robarte Project (Robotics, art and technology).
