This academic article details the implementation of the Hackathon TCU 2017, a technology competition organized by the Universidad Técnica Nacional in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. The event brought together university engineering students and primary school pupils to design prototypes aimed at solving problems related to sustainable development and environmental management. Through mentoring, participants used tools such as Arduino to create innovative solutions, highlighting projects focused on sewer cleaning and waste-collection robotics. The text emphasizes the importance of reducing the technological gap and fostering logical thinking from early childhood through the use of free and open-source software. Finally, the source underscores the success of the initiative in integrating academia with the local community to promote scientific education and carbon neutrality.
