This study proposes a didactic model based on the use of the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot and Project-Based Learning to strengthen learning in undergraduate robotics and engineering courses. The model was implemented through assembly, programming, and experimental testing activities, evaluated using a quasi-experimental pre- and post-intervention design. The results show improvements in technical competencies, problem-solving skills, and collaborative work among students.
