Here’s Hands-On Fun! Maker Vacation at SESI Lab

With the inauguration of SESI Lab in November 2022, Brasília gained a multi-use space with free entry, a 6.1 sound system, and digital projection. The SESI Lab tunnel is a gift for residents and tourists, with a program for all ages, exploring different genres and experiments. During the vacation program, the venue will promote the ‘Cine Curtas’ project, with screenings on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 5 PM.

The film program in the tunnel is curated by Glauce Pena Santos, along with the Cultural Programming team of the museum. The selected animations for projection stimulate reflections on science, innovation, and technology in everyday life. Among the selections are shorts from Pixar, the Brazilian series ‘Anima Criança: Lendas Brasileiras’, among others. The feature ‘Minhocas’, the first stop-motion film made in Brazil, is also on the screening list.

On Saturday and Sunday mornings, at 11 AM, the space will host theatrical performances and musical presentations from the Brasília Ska Jazz Club, especially for children. Among the plays are ‘Where’s the Animal That Was Here?’, with Camerata Caipira, ‘The Romance of Cowboy Benedito’, with Mamulengo Presepada, ‘Udigrudi in ConSerto’, from the Udi Grudi circus theater, among others.

Experimentation, Interactivity, Playfulness, and Innovation During the Free Admission Season

Interactive workshops will take place at 11 AM and 4 PM on Fridays. On Saturdays and Sundays, they will be at 11 AM, 3 PM, and 4 PM. Confirmed workshops include ‘Virtual Butterfly Garden’, ‘Tones of Self’, ‘Ecodesign’, ‘Light Painting: Painting with Light’, ‘Puppet Play’, ‘Creating Fungi and Bacteria’, ‘Building Circuits with Modeling Clay’, among others. Exceptionally during this period, the Maker Space will not promote editions of the Maker Livre project.

Activities exploring the exhibition galleries and the games ‘Sensory Memory’, ‘Who Am I?’, ‘Knowledge Hunt’, and ‘The Weight You Carry’ will also be offered. The game sessions will occur from Friday to Sunday, always at 3 PM, in the entrance hall and the first-floor hall of the museum.

Tickets to participate in the programming will be distributed 30 minutes before each start, at the information desk located at the museum’s main entrance.

Connecting Art, Science, Technology, and Lots of Fun During the Vacation at SESI Lab

Since its inauguration in November 2022, more than 248,000 visitors have experienced the 100% interactive museum. The iconic building designed by Oscar Niemeyer during the construction of Brasília is now a hub for art, science, technology, and education for all ages. The space is an initiative of the Social Service of Industry (SESI), in partnership with the National Service of Industrial Learning (SENAI), promoting the connection between artistic, scientific, and technological actions, in collaboration with industry and society.

SESI Lab features around 8,000 square meters of built area dedicated to exhibition, creative, and maker spaces, interdisciplinary rooms, an LED panel covering 84 square meters, a café, and a concept store. Combined with 33,000 square meters of revitalized green areas, in partnership with the Government of the Federal District, featuring native species of the Cerrado, interactive installations, and an outdoor amphitheater for shows, events, and other cultural activities.

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.

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.

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 public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

Scientists discover hidden hot water traps beneath Antarctica and reveal why the ice may be melting much faster than it seemed

At 55 meters and 240 tons, the US places the USX-1 Defiant in the sea, a military ship without a bridge, without a kitchen, and without space for crew, designed to operate alone on long-duration missions.
