There are methodologies with a peculiar application, which can support the learning and teaching at classroom, and these methodologies have been studied usually, like some educational tool (robotics, virtual laboratories and physical devices) that become one more methodological option to teach sciences and mathematics for the basic education. This work talks about the use of an educational resource by using the BBC Micro: bit platform, as a way to engage, motivate and promote the computational and scientific studies within a maker culture. The Project Based Learning (PBL) and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) methodologies were used in this research. A workshop was realized by using of micro: bit devices and it was applied to students at first grade of high school for informatics course from State Technical School of Pará "Dr. Celso Malcher". It was observed from the analyzed results that the micro: bit devices can be used as an educational tool to teach the contents that were presented in the classroom, especially when these contents were studied when the PBL and STEAM methodology applied are shown like an integrating form.
