However, current academic programs do not usually reach disadvantaged groups such as students with disabilities. Science education is saturated with representations of scientific concepts and most of these representations are visual. Therefore, an important challenge for the goal of attaining equitable education is the availability of teaching/learning resources for inclusion of students with visual impairments. Previously, our group has developed tactile three-dimensional representations to teach/learn biological concepts of microscopic nature but the production of these materials is expensive due to the technology used and their hand-made fabrication. In this study, we involved university students from engineering and other majors to create and construct educational materials to foster inclusive STEM education informed by Universal Design for Learning and User Centered Design frameworks. Students applied to participate in the project and were grouped into five interdisciplinary teams. Preliminary results obtained from student interviews and field notes indicate that participants fully engaged in the challenge and expressed that the goal is highly motivating, given that this is the first opportunity they have to apply their knowledge from the field of engineering to educational problems.","PeriodicalId":229069,"journal":{"name":"2019 XIV Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129758644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the developed application allows passing through concepts, theories, and questions about gamification, Mathematics, Education, glimpsing contents that present themselves using a game. Mathematical themes provided by the application involve three, fraction, and percent rule questions. The application was developed in the platform Android Studio and was used the language Java Android, using the tools available by the company developer of the platform, such as the Android SDK package, which allowed the application to be created in the platform natively using tools that allow you to test the application. Thinking about the different ways of learning, it is expected, through the games and the technology intrinsic to the tool, to use the possibilities of appropriation of knowledge addressed up to then and that, in the future, can be extended and extended to different levels of education.
