About the Enxurrada de Bits Program

The CEFET-MG program offering more than 400 spots in free courses aims to promote and stimulate interest in programming and robotics among students from public schools in Belo Horizonte.

It was created through the science popularization notice from Fapemig, under number APQ-03809-15, from 2015. It is maintained through educational complement scholarship and extension projects from CEFET-MG, which funds scholarships for the maintenance of the courses. The coordination is under the responsibility of Prof. Sandro Renato Dias (Doctor in Bioinformatics from UFMG), from the Computer Science Department, at the II campus of CEFET-MG, in Belo Horizonte/MG.

CEFET-MG as a teaching environment is capable of developing various competencies for a professional career, linked to theoretical and practical learning models. The extension program constitutes one of these environments, fostering values such as management, cooperativism, and abilities such as creating innovative and creative solutions, dealing with uncertainties in the environment, and managing changes.
