At the Academy we develop some activities that differ greatly from undergraduate courses and courses that we see on the Internet, such as, for example, Innovation Marathons and this entire Product Design process, within a controlled environment, which allows experimentation, failure, feedback and all the steps that facilitate and are essential to the learning process

What I wanted to find at the Academy was professional experience, to have contact with professionals, to have a sense of how things work in the real world, and the Academy provides this experience in a controlled environment, where you can make mistakes and have the opportunity to learn, In fact, how is that going to work?

Seeing the Academy for me was sensational, connecting this part of uniting the technical part with the psychological part, with training, looking for the boys within the University, who are full of energy and want to do it, so it’s sensational that we can direct something towards this Program through PPI

The Academy surprised me with the size it is gaining. In 2023 we visited a small room at Ufal, and looking at those kids this year is very interesting, the initiative is very cool and seeing that the Academy has expanded, that it has grown and that it will add value to Edge’s partners, especially because from here In two, three years we will have new minds, with new ideas, especially due to the way they are being conducted within the program
