The program, organized by high school students through the elective course Eventizar – Transforming Ideas into Action, started at 7:30 a.m. and ran until 7 p.m. Throughout the day, visitors were able to attend lectures on topics such as photography, health and sports, as well as practical workshops in areas such as robotics and applied physics, including a rocket-building activity.

A highlight was the “Between the Tides” project, coordinated by first-year students, which encouraged a study into marine conservation, with a focus on litter collection and marine animal care.

“Our idea goes beyond awareness, we want to show that sustainability is an opportunity to improve the world,” explained group member Elis Power Santos.

For Giovanni Onorato de Carvalho, Executive Director of Colégio Salesiano, this event symbolizes the institution’s commitment to the practical application of knowledge.

“It is a pleasure to see the students’ efforts come to fruition. We challenge everyone, from sixth grade to high school, to turn ideas into real projects, and today we celebrate these results,” he explained.

With the success of the first edition, the two organizing professors, Sabrina Schumacher and Fabiana Nicolaou, ensured the continuity of the event for next year, highlighting that the students’ learning in organizing and managing the academic exhibition is a lifelong legacy.
