The E-con Bike project from Jaragua do Sul, in which a conversion kit turns an ordinary bike into an electric one, has become an academic champion in the Environment and Waste Recycling category.

The Joinville-based Multimaterial Bioprinter won first place in the Electrical, Electronics and Electromechanical Systems category. At the final stage, the project from Jaragua became the absolute champion in the evaluation of the commission, consisting of more than 20 industry experts.

Both events mobilized students across Brazil for projects that spurred innovation, creativity and teamwork.

Challenges are offered by reference industries in their fields, and solutions are sought within a predetermined time frame. In this edition, more than 1200 teams from all the states of Brazil competed in five challenges: food, automation, civil engineering, information technology and 4.0.
