This paper explores the use of 3D printing technology in industrial and educational environments, for robotics applications, emphasizing its versatility, costeffectiveness, and rapid prototyping capabilities. Several projects are discussed, including the STC 4.0 HP Project, which combines 3D printing with robotic automation in the ceramics industry and creating educational robots for hands-on learning. 3D printing enables rapid iterations in these projects, allowing continuous improvements and adaptations. This technology’s potential is further demonstrated by its application in creating custom accessories, such as sensor adapters, which can be reused and modified across multiple projects. The findings demonstrate how 3D printing promotes innovation and accessibility, particularly in robotics, making it an important tool in industry and education.

The article introduces the "Robosteam" project aimed at enhancing special education through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) with a focus on robotics. The project is led by the University of León and involves various international collaborators, including institutions from Portugal, Finland, Italy, and Romania. Its objectives include adapting robotics and active learning methodologies to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities, creating teacher training programs for personalized learning, and establishing a community for sharing effective strategies in inclusive STEAM education. The initiative is carried out at the CEE Ntra. Sra. del Sagrado Corazón in León, Spain.

The article discusses a memorable experience in January 2024 when two special education teachers participated in the Erasmus+ ROBOSTEAMSEN program in Florence, Italy. The trip was both a cultural and professional enrichment, as they learned how new technologies, especially robotics, can support inclusive education, particularly for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The teachers shared their work and exchanged ideas with other educators, gaining valuable insights into teaching methods across Europe. This experience deepened their commitment to inclusive education and inspired them to bring new tools and strategies into their classrooms, reinforcing the importance of each small effort in transforming students' lives.

The article describes the collaboration of the CEE NTRA SRA DEL SAGRADO CORAZÓN school in the Erasmus+ ROBOSTEAMSEN project during the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 academic years. This project aims to research and develop tools and reports to help primary, special education, and secondary school teachers adapt robotics and active STEAM learning methodologies for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). On the project's website, various resources are available, including an analysis of relevant IDDs, taxonomy examples, a user model, robotic methodology resources, case scenarios, and practical guides. The school's involvement has been crucial, particularly in the areas of special education, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) students, content adaptations, and the creation of IDD-specific courses. The contributions of the teachers involved have directly benefited the school, with European Union funding enabling the purchase of tablets for speech and language teachers and an Irisbond eye-tracking device to assist students with communication difficulties. These dynamic tools are expected to significantly enhance the daily activities at the school.

Our contemporary society necessitates professionals equipped with 21st-century skills. Disciplines within Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (known as STEAM) have been particularly effective in fostering these skills. However, when considering students with disabilities, especially those with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD), this assertion often falls short. In this context, the RoboSTEAMSEN project emerges as an initiative designed to enhance educational processes by providing teachers of IDD students with the necessary resources to promote STEAM engagement. The project proposes the use of active learning methodologies and robotics to achieve this goal. The primary objective of the project is realized through several strategies: understanding the needs of students with disabilities and adapting the use of robotics and active learning methodologies accordingly; training teachers in the use of these resources; and creating a platform to exchange experiences, resources, lessons learned, tools, case scenarios, etc., while reaching other potential stakeholders such as caregivers and policymakers. The main outcomes of the project are teacher training programs and the development of associated competencies, tools to identify and classify resources for the students, and technological platforms to ensure the sustain ability of the project once it concludes.
