The traditional way of teaching programming has proven to be inefficient in motivating new generations of engineers to find their career path. At the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga, the decision was made to create a strategy to solve this problem, with the aim of improving performance metrics on students and teachers, as well as orienting the curriculum towards specific trends in the discipline (apps, IoT , web, AI and video games) and, finally, to review the tools, platforms and programming languages that were in trend worldwide to include them in the teaching plan in conjunction with an experimental gamification methodology designed by the teachers themselves . As a result, overall grades improved, dropout rates decreased, and the overall student population increased.
