A series of innovative methodologies are implemented in all the sessions of this curricular unit:

- Active methodologies, in which the teacher mediates the training so that the student can present their point of view in class and increase their critical sense.

- Use of STEAM resources.

- The Maker Movement, as several disciplines and teachers are involved in the development of this course;

- Project-orientated teaching, in which students work in groups, with peer review, to solve challenges proposed (problems) by the class.
