ABSTRACT
Studies show that contemporary teaching methodologies are based on skills and competences directed to different areas of professional practice, such as Architecture, Design and Computer Science. Collective learning spaces gain strength, stimulating the development of new skills by users. The Digital Manufacturing Laboratories (Fab Labs) and Makerspaces are entering the school environment and starting a movement for change in traditional education. Although they are seen as potential drivers for higher quality education, the lack of specific training for teachers in the face of new digital information and communication technologies, especially in basic education, becomes limiting in the development of new active methodologies. Thus, this study aimed to develop a training dynamic for basic education teachers, addressing the use of tools and equipment for digital manufacturing and prototyping, 2D and 3D modeling applications and software, and programming and electronics. The methodology consists of literature review, followed by the action research method with two workshops given through an online and synchronous platform. The importance of incorporating creative and innovative methodologies in education is understood, and above all, there is a dynamic, planned and effective structure, geared towards the orientation of teachers.
