With the purpose of promoting creativity and entrepreneurship behavior in primary school children and connecting it to entrepreneurship work develop in a High Education Institute with undergraduate students, Produz@ideia arise has a project that makes the link between the two type of levels of education, proposing a multidisciplinary project in multi-level type of education. This project was implemented during a year of work applying a problem-based learning perspective in both level of education and exploring the creativity and analysis implementing the methodology of the “Six Thinking Hats of Bono” with the primary education schools. By putting into action this project we pretended to prove that the empowerment that young children would embrace after the project, being creative, learning to reflect and analyze all perspectives of making things and trying and experiment how to make them, would create on them the access risk in a different way. The way of development that we used, could be audacious, but we expect students of both institutions acquire the necessary taste of not being afraid of taking chances by put into action their own ideas. On the other hand of the education level, in HEI, we tried to promote creativity on students making them to find a way to produce “crazy” ideas and trough that learn to take changes, analyze problems and find solutions and make things happen. Like this this project addresses the fundamental of entrepreneurship education at two levels of education at the same time, making it fun and successful. At the end of the project the entrepreneurship attitudes and behavior were assessed and it was possible to confirm the empowerment and the competence development in analyzing in a problem-based learning view.
