Abstract

The results of an educational experience that addressed from the design the importance of sustainability to deal with environmental problems are presented. Using the narrative resource of science fiction to contextualize prospectively and inspire the students in the solution of global problems regarding water resource. A pilot of multimodal fair was implemented and a perception survey was applied to 106 eighth grade students in Talcahuano, Biobío Region, Chile. The results show that 97% of the students ended up assigning importance to sustainability, 81% to the need of recycling and the same percentage states that the use of science fiction for the creation of their products for extraction and reuse of water resources was an experience that satisfactorily determined their participation. In this way it was possible to detect that the multimodal integration of the experience allowed motivating and capturing the attention of the students during the activity, in addition to extending the fields of application of the design.
