Here you will find a collection of interdisciplinary projects created by trainee teachers from the University of São Paulo. Broadly speaking, the projects involve exploring a theme that drives the creation of a useful object.

The trainee teachers work in teams, covering distinct yet closely interconnected fields of knowledge required to build the object. Creating this object serves as both the motivation and the culmination of the task; the finished product offers a “snapshot” of the knowledge and interrelationships the participants have developed.
