Handing over of Praça da Ciência in the municipality of Irecê to the school community – Jornal da Chapada

Mainstreaming science means promoting actions that allow the population to access knowledge. Praça da Ciência, an initiative of the state government, through the Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation (Secti), in partnership with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), is a policy designed to attract children and adolescents closer to scientific knowledge. In the presence of the Acting Secretary of the Congregation, Mara Souza, the equipment was inaugurated on Monday morning (28), at the Colégio Municipal Odete Nunes Dourado, in Irecê.

Praça da Ciência is made up of seven science entertainment equipment, allowing students from the public school system to familiarize themselves with the concepts of practice that their teachers introduce in the classroom. Acoustic shells, tube ukulele, swing, swing of different lengths, swivel chair, winch, generator bike and infinity well are the toys that make up the square.

Mara Souza emphasized that these practices stimulate teaching and learning, which will allow for increased interest on the part of future scholars. “This set of equipment brings children closer to the concepts of physics and the scientific field, making them interested in the subject. Who knows, in this way, we can develop new scientists in the future. We are making science reach the hearts of children,” he said.

For Irecê Mayor, Elmo Vaz (PSB), the city won the opening of another science arena. “We bring science closer to the residents, the students and the community.
