ABSTRACT
For years traditional learning approaches have been applied in schools and universities, where teachers are considered the knowledge center, leaving students as secondary actors of learning processes. In order to investigate new learning methodologies a set of new approaches have been tried. Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is one of these proposals, created with the essential principles of a 21st century learning environment in mind. Since 2014, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) have applied such methodology in the context whose multidisciplinary students from different courses learn to develop mobile apps, and work together looking for solutions that can impact lives. This paper presents how CBL was applied for two student groups, mentioning learned lessons and changes performed in the learning process from these lessons.
