The Ministry of Education (MEC) has just announced the opening of 15,000 spots for the free online course (EAD) on Neuroscience Applied to Education. The initiative aims to train teachers and education professionals, providing knowledge on how the brain learns and how to apply these concepts to improve pedagogical practices.

Neuroscience in Education

Neuroeducation, an interdisciplinary field that combines neuroscience, psychology, and pedagogy, has demonstrated the positive impact of strategies based on brain function. By understanding how the brain processes information, educators can optimize the teaching-learning process, increasing content retention, reducing school dropout, and improving students’ academic performance.

Comprehensive and Flexible Content

With a workload of 200 hours, the free online course (EAD) is divided into five main modules:

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.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

Wax notebook falls into latrine 800 years ago, survives intact in Germany and reveals Latin notes that may expose the routine of a high-status medieval merchant.

After more than 11 years orbiting Mars, NASA declared the MAVEN probe lost, which disappeared after passing behind the Red Planet in December, began to spin abnormally, depleted its batteries, and never responded to controllers on Earth again.

Free courses open 2,221 spots with classes in itinerant trailers from June 8 to 18 and training in gastronomy, technology, beauty, mechanics, pets, and elderly care in SP.

Hyundai sells an executive minivan that looks like a VIP room on wheels: Custin carries 7 people, uses a 1.5 turbo engine with 168 hp, 8-speed automatic transmission, and costs around R$ 157,000 in direct conversion in Vietnam.

China creates a capsule with artificial intelligence that scans the stomach in just 8 minutes and can reduce costs by up to R$ 1,400, paving the way for a new era of gastrointestinal diagnostics without tubes, sedation, and discomfort for patients.
