Isadora is a grade 7 student at Emef Ipiranga, a municipal school in Colinas, and lives in the municipality of Estrela.

In addition, she earned a silver medal at the 16th Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad for Public and Private Schools (OBMEP) and achieved an excellent performance in the Junior Scientific Initiation Program (PIC). In doing so, she was selected to participate in the VII PIC/ONE Connection in Porto Alegre.

In addition to Isadora, Guilherme Arthur Petry of Cruzeiro do Sul also represented Vale do Taquari at the event in Porto Alegre. Isadora and Guilherme’s teacher is Natália Bernardo Nunes from Passo Fundo.

Olympiads and programs

The Brazilian Olympiad in Mathematics for Public Schools (OBMEP) is a national project targeting Brazilian public and private schools, implemented by the Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics – IMPA, supported by the Brazilian Association of Mathematics – SBM, and promoted with resources from the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovations ( MCTI). The event also has financial support from the UFSM and CCNE.

Jr. Scientific Start Program (PIC) is a project that enables award-winning OBMEP students to connect with interesting issues in the field of mathematics, broadening their scientific knowledge and preparing them for future professional and academic performance. In the program, student Isadora Klein Diehl participates weekly in the Distance PIC program with virtual classes.

In the case of the OBMEP na Escola (ONE) programme, it is aimed at teachers of mathematics in public schools at the municipal and state levels and one of its objectives is to contribute to the formation of teachers of mathematics by stimulating and accrediting more in-depth studies. new educational practices in their classrooms. Teachers from across the country will be guided in developing curriculum contents, following educational problem-solving practice, in working with selected groups of students in their own schools or in neighboring schools.
