Molino Savonius. Proyecto de extensión y marco didáctico en clases de matemática

Abstract

In this communication we will share some notes referring to a work carried out during the first semester of 2015 within the framework of the mathematics classes of the Technician in Industrial Maintenance of the National University of Río Negro. This work carried out with the first-year students took the institutional form of an extension project, at the same time that for us it represented a didactic and pedagogical framework for the development of our mathematics classes. It dealt with the calculation and construction of a Savonius-type mill to be installed in the home of a rural woman from northern Patagonia. We will start by describing the place where the mill was installed.
