As technology advances, its influence in different sectors of our society is increasing. The educational field is not left out and is also forced to reconfigure itself assessing aspects which have not been considered until few years ago, as is the case of the introduction and application of ICT or educational robotics. The aim of this article is to analyze the perception and opinion of teachers, families and students of a school in the Basque Country about educational robotics, programming and related digital skills in the stage of Primary Education. To this end, a course has been carried out in which a group of 2nd grade students from Elementary School. work for the first time with different resources and materials of educational robotics: Lego WeDo 2.0 and Blue-bot. The intention is to contrast the opinion of some members of the educational community before and after the course; for which various instruments will be used. Mention that, according to the general results, there are differences between the pretest and the posttest that benefit the perspective on the integration of educational robotics in the classroom. Likewise, it is concluded that both its pedagogical use and teacher training are controversial issues, although the educational opportunities offered by these technologies are recognized to face the challenges of today’s society.
