Student protagonism in school science fair

Science fairs promote student protagonism through fostering their autonomy and instigating a taste for the practice of science. This article aims to analyze the science fair as a space for the promotion of a protagonist attitude in the student as a producer and promoter of knowledge. The research scenario was the Potiguar West Science Fair, from the perspective of the participating student, highlighting the development of their taste for the practice of science and how they are stimulated to use the scientific method in the social life at the school, capable of revealing students' protagonism. From the results obtained, we conclude that the science fair enables the production of knowledge, under conditions of permanent learning, promoting the interaction between teacher and student, so that they are willing to learn together: the student who learns from the teacher and the teacher who Learn from the student.
