Complementary Objectives:

Technology as part of the education of public school students;
Collaborate in the preparation of the pedagogical materials for the in-depth course and in the training of teachers
Establish cooperation between the public and private sectors in order to strengthen education in the State of São Paulo.

The program is divided into three main components: Life Project, Electives, and Technology and Innovation. Grupo +Unidos, with the direct support of Qualcomm and Gerdau supports this program through Technology and Innovation.

Weekly, starting in 2020, students will have 01 (one) 45-minute class, in which teachers will teach activities and content related to the main themes of the component:

Digital Information and Communication Technology (TDIC): related to the various existing digital communication tools and also to innovation.

Digital literacy: develops the different forms of communication, including interpretation and critical thinking.

Computational Thinking: brings the concepts and activities such as programming and robotics, game development, among others

Each theme will be worked on simultaneously during classes. The level of activities and content taught will depend on the maturity level of each school.

The component encourages the students to create their own projects. This new pedagogical approach is key to promoting the intellectual, emotional, social and cultural development, specially by reducing evasion and strengthening the bond between students and teachers.

In December 2019, the 1st Movimento Inova Event took place, which hosted the presentation of the best projects from the São Paulo State Science Fair (FeCEESP), brought technological solutions to the problems and challenges of the state education network and also held the Interactive Robotics and Computing Exhibition. During the event, students presented projects on robotics and creative computing developed within school units in the most diverse areas of knowledge.

Also in 2019, Grupo +Unidos invested in the Movement Innovate Education Event, arranging accommodation for the students, providing workshops and in awarding the best works. This first event gathered around 4 thousand people, between teachers and students.
