Arduino e Fischertechnik: um estudo de caso sobre a utilização dos kits de robótica em uma escola da rede pública do estado da Paraíba

Abstract

This work aims to describe and analyze a new way of using the Fischertechnik robotics kits present in several public schools in the State of Paraíba and that are often unused. For this, we describe the accomplishment of an elective course in one of these schools where the adaptation of the Robo TX Explorer kit with low-cost Arduino boards and components was done. The aim is not only to reuse a didactic material that is abundant in schools of the state public network, but also to provide students of these schools and in particular the school where the work was developed, new ways of learning through Robotics Educational. After completing the course, a research was carried out with the participating students and with the teachers of the school. Among the students, we tried to analyze items related to the use of resources and the level of difficulty faced by them. Among the teachers we try to verify mainly the receptivity of the work done and the disposition of the same ones to implement projects of this nature.
