In this work, a pilot experience of the "Robotics Workshop" activity at Fab Lab UNR is analyzed. It is a spacemaker laboratory created in 2020 by the Faculty of Exact Sciences, Engineering, and Surveying of the National University of Rosario, within the framework of the policies to strengthen engineering education. The interdisciplinary research team inquired about the appropriate pedagogical assumptions to introduce basic programming concepts to mechanical engineering students, with special emphasis on collaborative work, problem-based learning, initial motivation, horizontal articulation between subjects, and an adequate balance between conceptualization and procedures. The first results show that the perception of the students is positive and that the didactic sequence was appropriate to work with newcomers, which confirms the potential of these workshop practices to learn to program in the introductory cycle of engineering careers.
