We report here the experience in 2015 of a group of visiting students from the Farroupilha Federal Institute, who assembled and distributed insect boxes in public schools of municipalities in the northwestern region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This activity was motivated by the observation that science laboratories at these schools lacked materials to use in laboratory practical in entomology. At the end of the project, the visiting students benefitted by experiencing a different school environment, and the schools gained more teaching materials to be used in laboratory classes in the field of biological sciences.
