ABSTRACT 

The start of the 21st century takes us to the study of a new paradigm in knowledge, which has led different theorists to question and suggest a new education system. The rise of new information and communication technologies has not only evolved our lifestyles but also redesigned new methodologies for knowledge. Educational content is done for the curricular implementation in the subject of technology, and a scenario where students develop and experiment projects based on the regulated abilities by the Spanish education. A qualitative assessment that can be a guide for the teacher to improve the establishment of these named technologies in education and future proposals and investigations. Learning methodology based on projects (PBL) and 3D printing as an experimentation tool is applied, constituting it as of the most important emerging technologies to face the new education of the digital era.
