The project to develop Design Lab classes was built in partnership with “Nave à Vela”, a company chosen for dialoguing and adapting to the curriculum proposed by the school. The environment in the laboratory aims to provide the opportunity to carry out activities of effective production, i.e. of students’ producing and programming projects using any available materials, thus joining technology with manual projects.
The activities are elaborated by a team of specialists, with teacher William Cavalcante, who holds a degree in Architecture, along with teachers Aline Gomes and Maria Eduarda Menezes, from the EdTech area. The projects and equipment vary according to the grade-level age, with classes covering the 4th-to-8th-graders’ (Y4 to Y8) curriculum. Analog materials such as cardboard, rulers, scissors, hot glue, and wood are used, in addition to digital materials such as electronic circuits, a laser cutter and a 3D printer.
With the purpose of developing students’ citizenship, autonomy, creativity, and curiosity, as well as the responsibility of keeping the space organized and clean, and readiness to share materials and tools, classes offer the challenge of expression through the act of doing. Moreover, students are exposed to a wide array of experiences and explore skills from other disciplines, thus affording the practical application of their knowledge.
