Abstract

This paper proposes the development of a dynamic educational environment based on the use of robotics as educational technology. This text explores the relationship between free software, discarded computer equipment and education, seeking to articulate proposals for free software with the process
of construction of knowledge and with principles of social inclusion. The development of pedagogical activities using discarded equipment and the opening of source code for computer programs constitutes a rich possibility for the “democratization” of access
to cultural and technological goods, as well as of knowledge.
