Learning from the construction of a fidget spinner in a geometry classroom project

Knowledge development is a challenge for Faculty members. Understanding the classroom and societal dynamics allow to think other ways to learn. The fidget spinner is becoming popular among students. That is why in a geometry class from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (UPB), the final project was to construct this artefact. During the activity, abilities to design were strengthen as well as to build from scratch the spinner. Students comprehend how it works but also can create new alternatives to improve the spinner cycle. Concepts became clear and the function of geometry take a better relevance for student's life.
