Contemporary education faces the challenge of motivating students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) areas, often hindered by traditional methods and a lack of resources. This project addresses the problem through the design and implementation of an interactive classroom based on a constructionist approach, aimed at 4th-grade elementary school students at the "Profr. Candelario Obeso" Elementary School. Based on the principles of Seymour Papert´s theory, the classroom will use technologies such as 3D printing to foster active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving, transforming abstract concepts into tangible experiences. The methodology is divided into diagnostic, pedagogical design, pilot implementation, and evaluation phases. This intervention is expected to
