Education has been evolving over the years, and during this period, it has become evident
that there are various resources and methods useful in developing children’s learning
processes (that aid in children's learning development). In order to promote the
understanding of new knowledge and concepts in an autonomous way and, therefore,
improve traditional systems, a new educational resource called learning boxes has been
created.
Three learning boxes have been constructed with the aim of working on STEAM-related
concepts. The goal is to create a new educational resource with a lower cost than those
already available on the market. The first box focuses on the concepts of simple machines,
the second one on mechanisms of motion transmission and transformation, and the third
one on pneumatics. If we unfold the tree boxes, all of them can be connected by a road,
simulating a city. Furthermore, all the boxes also incorporate an electronic board called
Micro:Bit to facilitate new knowledge of robotics.
Before creating my own educational resource, I analyzed how children used educational
resources from various existing commercial brands. From these trials, I was able to draw
different conclusions (advantages and disadvantages), which I later applied to my final
project to achieve better results.
Finally, after creating the educational material, I also implemented these learning boxes
effectively, confirming my hypothesis that not all children learn in the same way. This is why I
managed to meet the initial objectives: to teach new knowledge to children by highlighting
technological and robotic concepts through practical projects
