Hosted by the Viana do Castelo School Group on September 23, the event focused on &#8220;Emerging Innovation in Energy and Materials,&#8221; featuring lectures and a technology showcase. <\/p>\n\n<p>A total of 260 students from the 11th and 12th grades, studying professional courses in Electronics, Automation and Control, Electromechanics, and Mechatronics, attended the event. Sandro Viena, a 17-year-old electromechanics student, described it as \u201can opportunity for students to explore new directions.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p>Carla Gomes, a teacher at Monserrate Secondary School, highlighted the importance of such events: \u201cAfter a pandemic with limited connection to the job market, bringing what these companies do\u2014especially new companies\u2014into schools is extremely beneficial for students to understand the market and their future opportunities.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p>Ruben Amorim, a mechatronics student, enjoyed learning about <em>smart cities<\/em>. Margarida Cajada from DataCOLAB explained the concept and encouraged students to propose solutions, stating, \u201cInnovation is creativity that adds value.\u201d She described efforts to introduce automation into urban environments, much like in homes, aiming for smarter management of resources like energy and water to benefit citizens and businesses sustainably.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Representatives from CorPower Ocean Portugal and OceanWinds also attended, presenting innovative ideas for harnessing wind and wave energy to produce clean power.<\/p>\n\n<p>Ricardo Rosa, an alumnus of the school, discussed the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edp.com\/pt-pt\/inovacao\/windfloat\" target=\"_blank\">WindFloat Atlantic<\/a> project\u2014a floating wind platform off the coast of Viana do Castelo. Starting with a prototype in 2011 that withstood 15-meter waves, the project is now in its pre-commercial phase. Rosa emphasized that offshore energy production is \u201cfour times greater than onshore\u201d and urged students to explore career opportunities in this growing sector, which lacks skilled professionals.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Eduardo Pacheco from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/corpowerocean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">CorPower Ocean<\/a> Portugal, headquartered in Sweden with its R&amp;D center in Viana do Castelo, presented a wave energy prototype inspired by the human heart&#8217;s pumping action. \u201cOur technology mimics the heart\u2019s hydraulic pressure system,\u201d he explained, describing a buoy system that leverages wave motion to generate energy. Using composite materials for durability and efficiency, the project aims to create a superior product capable of withstanding harsh marine conditions.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Pacheco emphasized that \u201cthe world\u2019s largest battery is the ocean,\u201d stressing the importance of transitioning to 100% renewable energy by integrating wave energy with other sources like wind power.<\/p>\n\n<p>The event also featured demonstrations from organizations such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inesctec.pt\/pt\/projetos\/atlantis\" target=\"_blank\">Atlantis \u2013 INESC TEC<\/a>, the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ciencias.uporto\/?__cft__%5b0%5d=AZW7JUEAK3HoSBNJQ9PS0aJPrmL-A_yP6-lUDK3aleCkplH3Leq9NcXAFttwbE53SpME-9g7UZZlew4SN6gnUuWkWB6fCnSGTDt_PdmpaRiRusU9bXFU-4wbuoL2dw8fgFzG4ROSr3pvKXgZmmHHGPkNBvnEORqmiJNni9Wg-zZLNdpZw89neSn4tg2wgrrDk2spKAwreyClU_oybrC7h5I4&amp;__tn__=kK-y-R\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Faculty of Sciences at the University of Porto<\/u><\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/adp.aguasdoaltominho\/?__cft__%5b0%5d=AZW7JUEAK3HoSBNJQ9PS0aJPrmL-A_yP6-lUDK3aleCkplH3Leq9NcXAFttwbE53SpME-9g7UZZlew4SN6gnUuWkWB6fCnSGTDt_PdmpaRiRusU9bXFU-4wbuoL2dw8fgFzG4ROSr3pvKXgZmmHHGPkNBvnEORqmiJNni9Wg-zZLNdpZw89neSn4tg2wgrrDk2spKAwreyClU_oybrC7h5I4&amp;__tn__=kK-y-R\" target=\"_blank\"><u>\u00c1guas do Alto Minho<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Tech@Weeks are promoted as part of SIAC \u2013 TECH4INNOV Knowledge Transfer Initiative, co-funded by COMPETE 2020 through Portugal 2020 and the European Regional Development Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edu@Tech was one of the highlights of the 2nd Tech@Week, promoted by ANI, aiming to connect young people with science and technology.
