Abstract
This paper presents the results of a project that analysed Specialized Educational Assistance (AEE) for High Abilities and
Gifted Students (AH/SD) aged 7 to 15 in two public schools in the Federal District over a period of 24 months. The work
was developed through a partnership between University of Brasília (UnB) and the State Department of Education of the
Federal District (SEEDF). This project enabled the implementation of two educational robotics laboratories, acquisition of
electronic devices (five educational robotic kits and two kits for assembling 3D printers), among other materials. The project
also provided scholarships for Mechatronics and Computer Engineering students at the university as well as opportunities
for teacher training, including support for the monitors and students in class throughout the project period. It was also
possible to develop a system to control the attendance to AH/SD students. The objective of this study consisted of inserting
Educational Robotics (RE) in attendance to AH/SD students and evaluating scientific knowledge in the field of robotics and
cognitive development through workshops aimed at stimulating skills, creative thinking, cooperation, interpersonal
relationships, and problem solving. It also aimed at sharing a successful experience that combined the contents conveyed
to students of graduate, undergraduate and technical level courses in the execution of the lesson planning. Thus, this paper
presents an ER project management model with a multidisciplinary team that contributed to the technological learning
process in basic education and obtained a successful result
