Abstract
The Robotics Club of the School of Engineering of the Universidad de Buenos Aires is an extracurricular activity which has the objective to be a space for learning robotics. In the present paper we describe the organization and working methodology of the Club. We analyze the difficulties of this activity and enumerate our achievements up to date. We also set out new challenges for the non-formal education techniques, particularly those referred to maintaining students´ motivation.
