During the Expoagro Afubra 2025, students from various cities in Rio Grande do Sul participated in another edition of the Green is Life Robotics Championship – Regional Stage.

The event took place at the Agriculture Innovation Space and promoted essential integration between education, technology, and sustainability.

In addition, the competition attracted students from public and private schools in Santa Cruz do Sul, Venâncio Aires, Sobradinho, Arroio do Tigre, Cachoeira do Sul, Candelária, and Agudo.

As a result, the practical tests stimulated skills such as programming, electronics, mechanics, and teamwork.

Practical Tests Value Applied Knowledge

The participating teams faced five distinct challenges, with up to 300 seconds per round to execute their missions.

Thus, the robots needed to perform tasks such as collecting milk, waste, and agricultural objects, simulating common situations in the daily life of family farming.

In addition to the traditional stages, the championship included a robot battle, scheduled for Thursday of the event.

In this challenge, the goal was to push the opposing robot out of the arena, requiring strength, strategy, and agility from the competitors.

According to the educational coordinator of the Green is Life project, Professor José Leon Macedo Fernandes, the championship highlights the practical application of school content.

As he pointed out, the event makes learning more meaningful by connecting theory to the reality of the field and innovation.

Young People Already Plan Careers in the Technology Area

Among the participants, 13-year-old student Bernardo Pleentz represented Emef Vidal de Negreiros in Santa Cruz do Sul.

According to him, robotics has increased his interest in technology.

That’s why Bernardo wants to pursue a career as a programmer, studying Software Engineering.

Additionally, he noted that the after-school classes, three times a week, prepared him for the competition’s challenges.

Thus, the event reinforced his motivation to deepen his knowledge and seek new experiences.

Another enthusiastic participant was 12-year-old Laura Camara Marari, a student at Colégio Marista São Luís.

Although she is in the 7th grade, Laura has been studying robotics since her early years of elementary school.

According to her, robotics is more than a school activity: it is a passion that inspires future dreams.

Robotics as a Tool for Active Learning

According to Professor Fabrício José Noronha, responsible for the robotics project at Colégio Marista São Luís, teaching the subject directly impacts performance in mathematics, physics, and engineering.

Moreover, he emphasizes that robotics promotes creativity, autonomy, cooperation, and critical thinking.

Therefore, bringing students to a real environment like Expoagro allows them to put into practice the knowledge acquired in the classroom.

As a result, the event broadens students’ perspectives and brings them closer to areas with great potential for professional and social growth.

Furthermore, Noronha stated that experiences like this demonstrate how robotics can serve as a bridge between traditional education and the demands of an increasingly technological and dynamic market.

Robotics as a Tool for Active Learning

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Few know, but India has a 36 km wall that surrounds a fort in the mountains and is considered the second largest in the world, behind the Great Wall of China.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.
