The Tech Lab project, according to my perspective, is very important in two dimensions: i) Technological dimension - empowers trainees (teachers) with technological tools with enormous applicability to students and to school community, creating this greater form of involvement of all in the learning process; ii)  Innovation dimension - the tools used are very innovative and create bridges for new research and new teaching processes and methodologies: more updated and strategically aligned with students' self-motivations.

This methodology creates in students a huge involvement with the task. Based on this methodology, a transfer can be made to an endless world of discoveries in all teaching areas. STEAM methodologies create the motivational seed in order to keep students focused on a particular learning goal. It is an up to date methodology, innovative, challenging and creative - it has everything the minds of today's students need so that it can create new knowledge.

Today's students are motivated by constant encouragement through novelty. These activities give this stimulus, thus increases students' interest in the curricular contents. Today's school has to be seen as a cell in the midst of a global society. A cell connected to a global society. This type of activities creates scope and interest in the search for knowledge. If a student feels the need to learn and feels that the learning process carried out is useful, fun and challenging, he/she is automatically involved with the whole process of knowledge creation. These activities make this connection very natural, constructive and efficient.

The UBBU platform allows students to gradually acquire knowledge about information and communication technologies and learn basic programming concepts, while developing various skills in terms of writing, mathematics, expressions through properly planned and interdisciplinary classes.

Classes are planned in such a way that students discover that computers are not just for playing. They discover that they can create their games, projects and challenges.

Students feel very motivated with the use of this platform in the classroom, in such a way that they are the ones who enthusiastically remember: "today is UBBU day!". In the context of Distance Learning, they continue to hold their classes. I have available daily synchronous sessions to help students that had more difficulties in a specific session and I provide some images of solutions for the proposed exercises. I always have one or another student present in these classes, but they are already quite autonomous and are carrying out the exercises alone or with the assistance of family members.
