Users under the age of 16 can access the Classroom if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. These classrooms aim to multiply by three the number of users until reaching 40,000 people a year.  Following the new sanitary protocols, these classrooms are being adapted to guarantee all the security measures, allowing the residents of the municipality to use them without any risk to their health.

In addition, these rooms will have hydroalcoholic gel and rules for the use of computers will be established. Likewise, the Cleaning Service of the Department of Sustainable Mobility and Youth, led by Rebeca Pérez, will work to carry out greater disinfection of the rooms and equipment. This new opening of the WINGS is being coordinated between several councils, such as the Department of Education and Infant Schools, which is headed by Belén López and the Department of Urban Agenda and Open Government, which is directed by Mercedes Bernabé.
