Festival of Innovation and Creativity

The Festivals of Invention and Creativity (FICs) are regional celebrations of the inventive, collaborative and hands-on spirit of Brazilian education. At the festivals, children, youth, their families, educators and the school community have the opportunity to explore materials and technologies, participate in activities, and experience stimulating, interesting, meaningful, and hands-on learning. The FICs are organized by volunteers from all over the country and take place in the most different spaces, always having as its main activity the Interactive Showcase.

The Interactive Showcase is the heart of the FIC. It is a hands-on fair in which students and teachers can have a first contact with tools, techniques, materials and other practitioners of this educational approach. The environment with benches and materials available favors experimentation.
