An educational experimentation laboratory that promotes the development of collaborative and interdisciplinary projects by combining artistic, scientific, technological, and humanistic knowledge.
SYMBIONTS consists of two phases. The first phase involves training for teachers, university staff, and engineering students, focusing on developing content related to the STEAM methodology applied to the educational context and approaching interdisciplinary practices at the intersection of art and science, with special emphasis on artificial intelligence. The second phase involves practical application in several educational centers in the Community of Madrid.
This project is launched in collaboration with the “PLANEA” network (Art + School), “Pedagogías Invisibles”, “la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería y Diseño Industrial” (UPM) and “la Consejería de Educación de la Comunidad de Madrid”.
Registration is open until January 20, 2024, through this form:
First phase: On January 27, 2024, there will be the first and only face-to-face training at itdUPM (Ciudad Universitaria), while the other sessions will be online (approximately 10 hours).
Second phase: To be determined according to the availability of centers and participants (students and UPM staff along with educational centers).
