Key details
Recent educational events in Brazil are highlighting innovative approaches that blend technology, science, and environmental sustainability within public education. The Bahia State Secretary of Education, through the Institute Anísio Teixeira, is hosting a two-day training event titled 'Scientific Education and Sustainability' on November 17 and 18 in Salvador. This initiative seeks to strengthen Science Clubs and climate education across Bahia's public schools. Educators will engage in workshops covering topics such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) applied to scientific education, Maker Culture and sustainable prototyping, fact-checking, and the use of ICTs for environmental education. The event promotes hands-on activities, scientific writing, community engagement strategies, and presentations of educators' projects, aiming to foster collaboration and innovation among educators (Source 140433).
Meanwhile, in Natal, the Núcleo de Tecnologia Educacional (NTE-Natal) took part in the V Feira Natalense de Matemática on September 12, featuring the I Mostra de Robótica Educacional and discussions on AI's role in education. The exhibition emphasized STEAM learning through robotics projects where students and teachers demonstrated programming, building, and operating automated systems. The accompanying AI meeting explored personalized and inclusive learning strategies to stimulate critical thinking and support teachers. Additionally, the II Café Tecnológico promoted creativity and digital ethics via workshops on Scratch Tactile programming and responsible internet use (Source 140443).
These events underscore Brazil's commitment to integrating advanced technology such as AI and robotics with environmental and scientific education, supporting inclusive, interactive, and sustainability-focused learning practices in the public education system.
