The software simulates the geometry of motion (kinematics) of any multilinkindustrial robotic arm and is to be used in place of or along with an actual robotic arm. Thestudents can use this tool to support their learning much the same way they use an actual roboticarm. The tool includes an integrated development environment that models the environments thattypically included with robotics packages. This tool allows the student to input the characteristicsof the arm they wish to program allowing the student to program any type of arm they wish. Thistool provides a low cost solution to situations where purchasing

In thesespaces people come to develop and receive help to materialize an idea. They are rather informalspaces, where informal language is used and relationships are horizontal. The characteristics thatthese co-curricular initiatives adopt, and how they interact with the curriculum, allow us toidentify schools where these structures are less empowered, that is to say, with sporadic activitiesand little coordination with the program core curriculum.
