Abstract: This work presents two projects developed within the framework of active learning with a focus on robotics and technology, both conducted in collaboration with the RoboCAp-UERJ group, utilizing robotics as an indirect and meaningful way to learn physics, supported by the Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology. The first project was carried out at the Instituto de Aplicação Fernando Rodrigues da Silveira (CAp-UERJ) within the Junior Scientific Initiation Program (ICJr). In this project, students, after gaining knowledge of Arduino and basic electronics, are encouraged to apply what they have learned in projects that positively impact the school community. For instance, a smart lamp was developed that turns on in the dark and off in the light, designed to be installed at CAp-UERJ facilities. During the process, students explored concepts of electricity and optics. The second project, conducted in partnership with IFRJ Maracanã campus, led to the creation of a device called Nature+, designed to facilitate the monitoring of hard-to-reach or hazardous areas and aimed at researchers and educators. Inspired by NASA's planetary exploration probes, Nature+ is a cart controlled via Bluetooth by a smartphone, equipped with sensors for temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and flammable gases/smoke. Both projects use the Arduino platform and have been recognized at seminars and science fairs. These projects highlight robotics as an effective tool for active and interdisciplinary learning, offering students the opportunity to apply physics and biology theories in real-world situations and to develop technological solutions beneficial to society.
