Som na caixa: kit para introdução da cultura maker na educação infantil

Abstract

This work aims to use design within the educational context and non-traditional learning strategies, such as maker culture, to design an artifact that facilitates teaching in early childhood education and enables the development of important skills such as creativity and autonomy. The choice of theme was due to personal experience in the school day, the interest aroused in the academic journey by projects aimed at children, and the professional desire to develop products for schools. During the project, research and studies on the themes of education, maker culture, and design were carried out, which provided the basis and allowed the conceptualization of the final product. Finally, the work consists of designing a kit to facilitate the implementation of the maker culture in children's learning spaces to foster the development of important skills in children. The action-research was possible, following Bruno Munari's methodology, starting from the study of the user, understanding his real needs, generating solutions for the problem pointed out, validating its viability, selecting the one that best meets the project requirements, improving and detailing it.
