Those living in Rio de Janeiro who want to qualify without paying anything have an open window until June 14. Since last Friday (May 22), FAETEC — Fundação de Apoio à Escola Técnica — has been accepting applications for 3,749 free slots distributed among technical courses, technological graduation, specializations, and the EJA modality, aimed at those who wish to resume their studies. The entire registration process is done exclusively online, through the official selection portal.

FAETEC opens many slots in free courses

The largest share of slots is allocated to technical training. There are 3,016 opportunities in technical courses, open to students who are already attending at least the 2nd year of High School or who have already completed this stage. The selection for these classes occurs through a public lottery, scheduled for July 4.

Two technical courses, however, require a different stage: Theater and Musical Instrument, with 65 slots in total, require a Specific Skills Test (THE) before enrollment.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Toyota bets on a hydrogen scooter with removable cartridges that can be swapped in seconds and tries to solve the biggest bottleneck of clean vehicles: the lack of refueling stations.

A “hole” in Earth’s magnetic shield that passes over Brazil intrigues scientists, and a new study shows that it emerged in the Indian Ocean around the year 1000, migrated across Africa, and reached America, repeating a path that another anomaly had already taken 1,000 years earlier.

Experts say AI could take over 80% of tasks at work, but highlight the 20% that still save jobs
