Prerequisites: Who Can Participate?

Not every student has the chance to embark on this trip to Canada. The Federal Institute RS has established specific criteria to ensure that the selected scholarship holders not only have the necessary academic performance but also the maturity and dedication to make the most of this international experience.

In addition to exemplary academic performance, with a Grade Point Average of seven or higher, candidates must demonstrate proficiency in English, be at least 18 years old by the date of the trip, and not have participated in exchanges to Canada through the Federal Institute previously. These requirements ensure that the selected students are ready to venture beyond national borders, bringing with them not only knowledge but also an insatiable thirst for learning and exploring.

Heading to Canada: Applications and Documentation

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

Almost 10,000 km/h, 110,000 feet altitude, and New York–Paris in less than an hour: Venus Aerospace tests a rotating detonation engine and aims to transform the Stargazer into a reusable Mach 9 hypersonic plane, but still needs to prove that the promise moves beyond the prototype.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.
