Abstract
The ”Talents For the Industry Program”, is an 8 year educational robotics program that has been running in Brazil since 2002. The program was created with the goal of developing talents with the ability to deal with technology using robotic activities as a tool to reach this goal. The program was implemented in a set of four hour weekly activities that lasts 18 months. The main objective of this paper is to show how these goals are mapped in the structure, methodology and classes of this program.
