At the fair, exhibitions of the final results of scientific projects from different areas of knowledge, developed by students and teachers from the state network, will be seen. The projects will be exhibited by students and teachers.

For the person responsible for the action, the event is of utmost importance to encourage scientific production in the Parintins school environment, and the creation of new educational practices and strategies for scientific culture and education.

“We believe that its implementation will become an educational practice aimed at the dissemination and circulation of scientific knowledge, increasingly integrating the community with access to information and reflection on emerging issues of a social and scientific nature”,

stressed Camila Braga.

She also highlighted that educators are constantly searching for strategies and methods to improve successful actions and projects across the most diverse aspects of knowledge.

“Science fairs present themselves as a valuable methodological resource and educational strategy that lead students and teachers to observe their surroundings from a scientific perspective and allow society access to scientific knowledge”,

Impacts

Camila Braga believes that the 2nd Technical-Scientific Fair: Science at School will generate positive impacts on schools and society in Parintins, through exhibitions of scientific work developed by students and teachers from the state education network.

“The main expected impact is to bring society closer to scientific knowledge and all social, political, economic and cultural issues that will permeate the works presented”,

Camila observed.

She also highlighted that with the action, it is expected, through the dissemination of knowledge, to awaken the community’s interest in analyzing their daily lives through a scientific bias and understanding that science needs to be part of everyone’s lives in resolutions of social problems, generating quality of life.
