This project is based on storytelling and its great advantages within a virtual world, where different stories are developed based on the information necessary to grow and have your own harvest at home. Computational thinking will be developed through innovative design creating effective digital materials using creative problem solving.

It is based on research and creation of digital content such as Storytelling where the cultivation and harvest of various foods in your own home is creatively represented, taking advantage of these digital resources such as:
Provides students with motivation, fun, curiosity, and attitudes conducive to learning.
It helps to establish connections between the contents and to organize the information.
Promotes a host of values to work on in the classroom.
It encourages critical thinking from the reflections of the stories.
Develop social skills like active listening and empathy.
It allows children to pay more attention and obtain a higher level of concentration.
Creates a bond between the teacher and the students, facilitating more fluid communication and more two-way interaction.
It favors relaxed and participative work in the classroom.
Stimulates the creativity and imagination of students.
The project will be presented using an application called Co-spaces, where it allows the creation of experience within a virtual world. Stories based on storytelling are developed through characters that will have situations with other characters, based on the cultivation and harvest of various foods at home.
There will be a fun demonstration of each of the crops, we will lend you a VR viewer, and you will be able to learn through the digital content developed to create your urban garden.
