Why this matters: The dates of the events are crucial for understanding when each Semana Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia is taking place. The first source discusses an event happening from October 6 to 10 at IFMS in Aquidauana, while the second source mentions a different event occurring from October 28 to 30 at IFPE in Afogados da Ingazeira.
