Description
Summary:This work is an initiative that aims to attract students from the countryside of the state of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil) to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) areas, focusing on cities with a low Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) and seeking to reduce school evasion in addition to encouraging an education based on the teaching of robotics. To this end, the most diverse resources available were used, from active teaching methodologies to geek culture references, such as series, movies, and Japanese animations that attract and fascinate the younger audience. In this paper, the entire process of creation and application of an introductory robotics course to 9th-grade students of the public school system is detailed. Furthermore, results obtained from the enrollment and course evaluation questionnaires will be presented, as well as the difficulties faced in the process.
