This academic contribution, seeks to propose solution to a design problem, based on building structures in spaghetti. It has been posed from the perspective of constructive alignment and problem resolution, mediated by the development of a School Technology Activity (STA), and proper use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The proposal was developed in four stages: understand the problem, devise a plan, execute the plan and revise the results. The conclusions stand out that: the development of STA is a practical opportunity which favors reflection and action towards technology; to carry out the experience designed, students face situations that require an understanding of theoretical principles and reflect their learning coming to build relational and functional knowledge; and, the objectives, actions and results serve the same purpose, allowing deep learning approach of the technology.
