ABSTRACT. This study addressed the planning, construction, and implementation of a robotic device for reading temperature and humidity inside handmade greenhouses from the perspective of Paulo Freire’s liberating education. The proposal aimed to discuss the potential of working with educational robotics in the context of rural education, focusing on building scientific concepts. A qualitative research methodology was employed, following a case study approach. The main outcome identified was an interdisciplinary perspective, in which it was possible to analyze the knowledge required for the planning and construction of the robotic prototype, as well as the knowledge and concepts related to building handmade greenhouses, and finally, the knowledge concerning vegetables within the field of agronomy. Thus, we observed the integration of mathematical, physical, chemical, and agronomic knowledge to solve various problems encountered throughout the different phases of the project. Ultimately, we understand that Educational Robotics can serve as a guiding element for transformative pedagogical practices in Rural Education, as rural subjects not only become protagonists in the construction and production of knowledge but can also use technology to transform their community realities, starting with the school.
