In addition to content and format updates, the program has been expanded, increasing its duration from 10 weeks to 11 weeks. Now, the classes of the free course are available in the original Harvard University course’s own development environment. It is worth noting that CC50 is the translation of the original “CS50,” but with a focus on native Portuguese speakers.

The online course can be a great opportunity for those who want to start a career in the technology sector, for those entering university, as well as for those looking to pursue another career and for those seeking to learn a bit about programming.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

Cell phones in schools: learn how a year after the ban, students and teachers are already noticing positive effects and recording improvements in academic performance with increased attention and active participation.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Drivers are losing patience with multimedia centers: screen, connection, and performance issues expose the worst systems in cars in Brazil.

Volkswagen invests $1 billion in the Chinese company Gotion and increases its stake to 33% to drive solid-state batteries, with a 2 GWh line, aiming for 1,000 km in electric cars.

China is at its limit: the export model generates a surplus, pushes the deficit to the U.S., and distorts the world; with the yuan undervalued by 40%, G7, IMF, and Trump are pressuring for rebalancing and global inflation in the coming years.
