Educational robotics at Fundação Bradesco: program Construtores de Futuros
Educational robotics, teacher training, and value-based narratives in three Fundação Bradesco units during the second semester of 2019.
In partnership with Fundação Bradesco, Somai developed the Programa Construtores de Futuros (Future Builders Program) in the second semester of 2019, across three units — Aparecida de Goiânia (GO), Cuiabá (MT), and Osasco 2 (SP). The program utilized educational robotics as a knowledge integrator, focusing on mathematical language and reading skills, and cultivated essential values such as Respect, Honesty, Equality, Commitment, and Excellence. The school is part of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network. The figures below are from the program's official report.
