This work is the result of a proposal for activities involving Unplugged Robotics, applied to the educational context, for a class of the 4th year of elementary school. The objective was to analyze how this resource can encourage and guide the stages of learning in an interdisciplinary perspective, reusing everyday materials, which would possibly be discarded. The practice developed was based on competencies and skills from the National Common Curricular Base, based on the theme of socio-environmental awareness, more specifically the environmental impacts caused by human action. The qualitative approach, using action research characteristics, indicates that Unplugged Robotics is a significant alternative for schools that aim to work on the basic foundations of Educational Robotics, without the use of digital technology and expensive materials.
