Underserved high school students in Brazil’s Federal District, Goiás, and Colombia’s Caquetá face systemic barriers to quality STEM education due to limited resources and inadequate infrastructure. This challenge hinders their access to critical technological skills, a problem the University of Brasilia SB is addressing in partnership with Corporation PLANET FOR LIVE.
The University of Brasilia SB will implement a robotics program to bridge gender and technology gaps among these students. This initiative focuses on providing hands-on STEM education and fostering innovation in underserved communities.
This project aims to empower students with essential technological skills, fostering a new generation of innovators and reducing educational disparities in STEM fields.
This project was made possible by $9,863 in funding from the Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), an EPICS in IEEE partner.
