Key details
Paraíba is gearing up for impactful science and technology events aimed at enhancing educational engagement and socio-environmental awareness among students and the community in 2025.
From December 2 to 4, Instituto Federal da Paraíba – Campus Itaporanga will host the 22nd Science and Technology Week, themed 'Planet Water: the oceanic culture to face climate change in the sertão.' This event focuses on highlighting water's critical role and addressing climate challenges in Paraíba’s semi-arid region through activities like mini-courses, scientific experiments, discussions, workshops, film debates, and cultural presentations. The event is free and open to the public, with online registration available.
Earlier in the region, ECI Monsenhor José Paulino in Arara held its inaugural I Mostra Científica Imersão 360 Ciência, Tecnologia e Itinerários Formativos on November 26. The showcase featured 168 full-time high school students presenting projects across eight thematic rooms, including labs in sciences, robotics with recycled materials, and an innovative integration of virtual reality technology supported by the State Secretary of Education. The event highlighted hands-on experiments and active learning methodologies, with a special focus on the 'Se Liga Prota' initiative to promote integral teaching and enrollments for 2026.
These coordinated efforts exemplify Paraíba’s commitment to using regional science events as platforms to popularize science, foster student autonomy, and encourage socio-environmental responsibility amid growing climate challenges, particularly in water management in the sertão.
