This study focused on the development of a technical-technological product in the format of a didactic sequence. This had as its driving question the following question: what proposals for science teaching and mathematics teaching can be developed from the scientific-technological inventions of black women? From a general point of view, we aim with this research to investigate scientific-technological inventions developed by black women, focusing on their pedagogical potential for teaching science and for teaching mathematics in the early years of elementary school. Specifically, we outline the following objectives: a) to explore the possibilities and limits of the development and application of proposals for teaching anti-racist sciences; b) mapping scientific-technological inventions produced by black women; c) develop science teaching and mathematics teaching proposals for classes in the early years of elementary school, centered on scientific-technological inventions produced by black women. To achieve these objectives, we carried out a theoretical-bibliographic study about the epistemicide of knowledge produced by black women in the field of Science and developed a didactic sequence that, due to the objective conditions imposed by the COVID-19 Pandemic, it was not possible to apply. However, we explored it as a didactic-epistemological power with a view to building an anti-racist pedagogical thought. These are ideas that, once adjusted to the reality of each school and/or university context, can contribute to the formation of anti-racist and anti-sexist consciences.
