Abstract

Approaches that combine theory and practice are useful for the education of students from Computer Science courses. A Challenge Project is adopted in the Human Computer Interaction discipline to cover the "Life Cycle of Interaction Design" content, including techniques, methods, and artifacts generation. The objective of each team is to propose a technological solution to increase comprehension and encourage sustainable actions in the everyday life of the community. The Sustenta Aí app was designed by a group of three students, based on the methodology that combined theory and practice, throughout the discipline. This article describes the applied methodology, the Sustenta Aí app, and the perspective of the participants (students and the professor) about the experience.
