Abstract
Oficina Desafio, Challenge Workshop, is a project of UNICAMP Exploratory Science Museum - the Science Center of the State University of Campinas (Brazil). It is an outreach project, consisting of a fully - equipped mobile workshop constructed on a truck, which visits schools and gives the students open solution real problems challenging them to "design, construct and operate a device" capable of solving the challenge. Analysis of the evaluation forms answered by school students reveals that participants of the challenges perceive it as a "learning opportunity", in the sense they identify school related capabilities as conditions that increase the chance of facing the challenges successfully.
