JARDIM DE SUCATAS:

POR UMA POLÍTICA DA OBSOLESCÊNCIA E INUTILIDADE PARA A GERMINAÇÃO DA ESPERANÇA

Abstract

Inspired by Manoel de Barros, a poet from Cuiabá, who portrays in his works the care and admiration for nature, we outlined the question that guides this project, "What to do with objects that become unusable or obsolete in our home?" In this sense, our seek to analyze sustainability and Environmental Education, bringing to the classroom discussions about planned obsolescence, having as structure the methodology of project-based learning (ABP) with STEAM approach. A transdisciplinary project, which has as scenario Poconé- MT, gateway to the Pantanal, recognized by UNESCO as a world natural heritage and biosphere reserve, contrasts with the transgression of the land. Thus, in the search for environmental preservation and conservation in the Pantanal as our general objective, focused on planned obsolescence, we fostered the students' protagonism to seek solutions to the accumulation of junk, obsolete or unused objects that could be found in their homes and/or in the surroundings. We obtained as a result of this project 04 prototypes built by the students, using scraps taken from the Pantanal, which constituted, in the teaching unit, a Scrap Garden that seeks to germinate life. KEYWORDS - Eco sustainability; Technology; Science. Poetry.
