This study explores the benefits of this sustainable technique, highlighting an enriching experience aimed at cultivating environmental awareness in 7th- grade students at a public school in the Luziápolis District, Campo Alegre, Alagoas. The objective of this work is to promote artisinal composting as a pedagogical tool and evaluate, through a gamified activity, the understanding of concepts related to environmental education. The research included lectures on solid waste, composting, and sustainability, the assembly and monitoring of handmade composters, followed by a discussion circle to present results and a Kahoot quiz with five questions on the topics covered during the project. After implementing the pedagogical practices, it was found that 75% of the students correctly conceptualized the composting process, 70% understood the meaning of solid waste, 86% correctly defined recycling, 37% understood the concept of reuse, and 75% recognized the principle of sustainability. This experience highlights the importance of such activities in understanding knowledge and developing skills that prepare students to act consciously, critically, and participatively in promoting sustainability and building a more just and balanced world.ptCompostagem artesanalEducação ambientalKahootArtisanal compostingEnvironmental educationTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA
