Applications are received from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Competitions Section of the Department of Selection and Promotion of the Human Management Program (UTU Central, San Salvador 1674, office 39).
Computational Thinking workshops will be held in the educational centers located in:
- Arrayanes (Piriápolis, Maldonado)
- Vista Linda (Canelones)
- Montevideo (Diving and Eastern Arm)
- Paysandú
- Rivera
12 vacancies with a load of 56 hours each are called for.
The Esquinas del Mañana Program aims to generate among adolescents and young workers new transversal skills and ways of thinking that will allow - in the short, medium and long term - to transform Uruguay's industry. It arises from an agreement between the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining (MIEM) and the National Administration of Public Education (ANEP), with the collaboration of the National Institute of Employment and Vocational Training (Inefop) and the Science and Technology Park of Pando (PCTP).
The programme is part of the policies that seek to contribute to guaranteeing the right to education of Uruguayan adolescents and young people. This process may result in the discovery of new vocations, or even in the motivation of some participants to join new work sectors or enter other areas of study.
The objectives of the Computational Thinking workshop are:
- That the student acquires the ability to think computationally.
- The student will be able to create small programs that allow him/her to solve problems or model situations using data structure and algorithms.
- That the student can apply the knowledge acquired using tools such as video game content platforms and / or robots.
After completing the Computational Thinking workshop the participant will be able to:
- Solve a problem efficiently using the tools of computational thinking.
- Understand what an algorithm is: sequence of steps, what it can be used for and how it can be used - Develop the ability to break down a task into small steps.
- To be able to create common patterns of behavior, identifying relevant information for the overall representation of a process.
- Know tools for modeling data and writing algorithms.
