Abstract

The evolution of technologies since the mid-nineties has forced schools to constantly rethink their approaches, especially those involving learning mediated by computational or even digital instruments of great interest to young people in the digital age. Recife started an advanced technology program in schools in 2013, as well as the installation of Science Labs at the time of upgrading old computer labs to technology spaces with mobile computing devices. Joining Science Laboratories with the technological spaces, came the Laboratory Program for the School of the Future, called Science and Technology Laboratories. These laboratories include a unique physical space where activities related to four conventional laboratories are developed: Science, Scientific Instrumentation, Robotics and Programming and Space Maker. In these labs, students themselves can solve problems that make sense to them, experiment and design life; Teachers can give practical and demonstration classes, among other possible activities. The projects are developed using modern STEAM and PBL techniques chosen by the students themselves. In this article, we will show the conceptual construction, installations and results obtained in the pilot phase and in the operational phase of the first Science and Technology Laboratories.
