An intellectual journey that began with the discovery of strange attractors derived from Chua's circuit, their translation into physical shapes by means of 3D printers, and finally, to the production of jewelry is presented. After giving the mathematical characteristics of Chua's circuit, we explain the chaotic design process, used for creating jewels, providing specifications of the used methodological approach, for its reproduction. We discuss the feasibility of this approach and the transmission of scientific contents on chaos theory, usually restricted to university students, in a high school Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics course, for the realization of advanced educational processes, implemented both in computational and real environments. We think that the idea of transforming science into art forms can drive students in acquiring scientific knowledge and skills, allowing them to discover the inner beauty of chaos.
本文呈现了一段从蔡氏电路中的奇异吸引子的发现开始的知识之旅,通过 3D 打印机将其转化为物理形状,最终制作成珠宝。在介绍蔡氏电路的数学特征之后,我们解释了用于创建珠宝的混沌设计过程,提供了所使用方法的规格,以进行复制。我们讨论了这种方法的可行性,以及通常仅限于大学生的混沌理论的科学内容的传输,在高中科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学课程中,以实现先进的教育过程,在计算和真实环境中实施。我们认为,将科学转化为艺术形式的想法可以激发学生学习科学知识和技能,让他们发现混沌的内在美。
