This research allowed to apply processes of academic articulation between higher education and rural secondary education through design construction and programming of electronic devices with Arduino technology; for the measurement of humidity and temperature in vegetable crops of the Savannah central region in Cundinamarca (Colombia), mediated through Project Based Learning (PBL). The research involved 13 students aged between 14 and 16 years. They developed theoretical and practical workshops on basic programming electronics and basic robotics. This research fostered the appropriation of concepts of technology through workshops. These meant new topics for the students of the San Jorge school of Zipaquirá, as they did not use to articulate this kind of projects with their Technology subjects.It was concluded that the PBL approach applied to practical technology projects is a valid strategy of articulation, given that it enhances students’ skills and competences in technology, it developstheir logical and critical thinkingand promotes collaborative work, among others.

Keywords : Arduino; educative articulation; robotics; computer programing; PBL.
