The event, organized by the Department of New Technologies, aims to bring technology into classrooms and foster skills such as teamwork and creativity. This year, Ciberlandia focuses on smart agriculture.

“Ciberlandia allows practical exploration of the world of robotics, focusing this year on robotics applied to agriculture. It is important that the public knows the possibilities that new technologies have in sectors such as the primary sector, so that it becomes attractive, also to new generations,” Alonso said.

Throughout the week, students receive training in education, robotics, and ICT at the Palacio de Formación y Congresos de Fuerteventura. The participating schools are:
