MAKER LAB
Duration: 6 months
Recently, with the technological advance and the increased competitiveness, socio-emotional skills have become even more necessary and attractive. It is extremely important that the youngster today is instructed to develop not only his technical and scientific knowledge but also his emotional intelligence. Thinking about this issue, CEAP developed the Maker Lab project, in partnership with Instituto Tellus, which is a course that happens in a laboratory called Área 21.
The Área 21 is based on a maker laboratory that aims to stimulate the creativity and innovation of youngsters between 14 and 18 years old who are in a situation of high social vulnerability. The name is after the fact that competences and socioemotional skills from the 21st Century are developed, such as cooperation, critical thought, conflict resolution, integrity, professionalism, ethics, among many others.
PROJETO VEPINHO
Duration: 12 months
Projeto Vepinho (Vepinho Project) is a school reinforcement course held at CEAP on Saturdays, in the morning, to poor youngsters from Pedreira area who are attending the 6th to 9thgrade of elementary school. The work is done by volunteers who perform teaching and monitoring activities in the project. Most of the teachers are college students assisted by mid-level monitors.
The teacher, as well as teaching the subjects, should be able to motivate the students to have a constant habit of study. Nowadays, about 100 youngsters are assisted and they have school reinforcement classes in Math, Portuguese, Reading, and Sports, along with human formation.
