Sumario:The article describes an interdisciplinary practice developed at a K-9 school in Curitiba, which consisted in an articulation between the scientific knowledge developed in the Science curriculum component and the popular knowledge related to urban gardens, with Robotics and maker education, carrying out the reuse of materials in a STEAM approach. The methodology is a qualitative, exploratory nature, with participant observation and research. The results revealed students encouraged to reflect on dietary practices, care for the environment, conscious consumption and the reuse of materials. It was concluded that interdisciplinary practices conducted in a playful and hands-on manner, involving technologies such as Robotics, contribute positively to a more critical and active attitude of students.
