Description

STE(A)M TechCamp Brasil 2020 supports innovations that respond to recent Brazilian education reforms and demands of the private sector for more qualified professionals, by empowering educators and curriculum designers through targeted digital and media literacy training as well as sessions on the maker-space movement and current education trends.

This workshop week is part of a broader three-year program by the U.S. Embassy in Brazil in partnership with the Technological Integral Systems Laboratory (LSI-TEC), alongside support from the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (Poli-USP) and 3M, all aimed at creating a new network of multipliers including members of the State Secretariats of Education and top Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) teachers from across Brasil. This network was selected on the basis of their potential and leadership to articulate and improve existing country conditions, and develop and implement new action plans centered around more active learning STEM approaches in public education. The 2020 workshop builds upon the successes of the 2019 and 2018 editions.
