Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Students learn Physics concepts using the Design Thinking Process an applying the engineering design workbook, to follow the steps to develop their prototypes to demonstrate how physics works in real life.
Helping them to understand how to solve a problem using physics. Through their research, integrating the design thinking and prototyping using Recycled material and apps to create 3D models, explain the process, and evaluate their prototypes.
This phase will also make explicit connections to creativity, both describing how these processes foster creative problem-solving, and providing opportunities for rapid creative brainstorms that put theory into practice.
Racing cars, floating boats, optics games, gravity tests, construction of electrical circuits to design lighting objects, among others are the projects that are developed in the Maker Physics Space.
During the exposition, we will show you some prototypes and videos of how been made it test it, and the digital multimedia workbook of their learning evidence.
