Tecno-conciencia: eco-friendly strategy to encourage steam learning

Abstract

As technology evolves and advances, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) education becomes increasingly essential. By including it comprehensively in the classroom, it provides opportunities to prepare the new generations to face important challenges. It requires the use of innovative and alternative methods of teaching and learning, such as projects, laboratory practices and technological tools. And it allows the development of skills such as analysis, documentation and problem solving, supporting them to deal with situations in their daily lives. This paper will present a STEAM project developed in the 3rd ESO physics class that consists of the construction of an eco-friendly energy model, which shows the possibility and capacity of human beings to generate electrical energy with their own mechanical energy, contributing to the conservation of the environment; getting closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It has been developed in English, which has allowed students to develop the linguistic competence of a second language, professional skills and greater concentration.
