Sementes do Vale had its e-Ducadores social technology certified by the Banco do Brasil Foundation, a national recognition granted to initiatives that present effective, replicable solutions capable of generating social impact in the territories where they are developed.
The e-Ducadores methodology was born from Sementes do Vale's experience with educational robotics in the Sertão of Minas Gerais. The proposal seeks to democratize access to technology in public schools, especially in rural and peripheral communities, using recyclable materials, electronic scrap, and low-cost resources as learning tools.
Through teacher training, delivery of pedagogical materials, and school support, e-Ducadores enables public-school educators to implement robotics activities even in contexts with limited technological infrastructure.
For Sementes do Vale, the certification represents recognition of a journey built from the reality of the territory. More than bringing technology to schools, the project shows that innovation can also be born from creativity, listening to communities, and a commitment to more accessible public education.
With this recognition, e-Ducadores becomes part of the Banco do Brasil Foundation's certified social technologies database, strengthening its potential for replication in other municipalities and school networks.
