Due to COVID-19 it was not possible to hold the CIRO Final Competition in person, so it had to be held virtually, thus complicating communication between evaluators, teachers and students. For this reason, it was considered necessary to propose a series of activities prior to the competition so that they could rehearse in their schools with their teachers.

Additionally, there has been a lot of extra work that has had to be done during the final execution of the learning process described in the initial project. The teachers not only had to teach and work on the modules initially created but also had to include several videoconferences not initially planned, for students who could not go to school, so that, for example, they could learn how to design sustainable city models using resources they might have at home.
