"Kit Educacional de Portas Lógicas" de baixo custo
Rafael Rodrigues Testa, Marcelo Demarchi · Revista Internacional de Extensão da UNICAMP · 2025
This article explores the integration of the STEAM methodology – which combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics – with a practical and interactive educational approach for teaching Logic, aiming to provide an accessible and gamified understanding of the abstract concepts involved in the subject. We present the development and application of a kit of logic gates constructed with low-cost electronic devices, which uses LED lights to represent truth values (lit for "True" and unlit for "False"), facilitating the visualization and comprehension of logical expressions. By constructing these devices, students engage in hands-on learning, which not only solidifies their understanding of logical principles but also provides a cross-disciplinary and practical application in various academic fields, including Philosophy, Computing, and Robotics.
