2018 TEMA: CONSTRUÇÃO DE UMA REDE ELÉTRICA SUSTENTÁVEL

O impacto da energia em nossa vida cotidiana é de grande alcance; ela potencializa o transporte, ilumina as casas e promove a educação. Entretanto, a escassez de energia e a falta de infra-estrutura confiável podem torná-la cara e inconstante. A demanda global de energia está aumentando, e os sistemas atuais não serão suficientes para atendê-la. Estima-se que o uso de energia em todo o mundo subirá 50% até 2040. Duas soluções identificadas nos 14 Grandes Desafios para a Engenharia incluem "tornar a energia solar mais econômica" e "obter energia da fusão nuclear." Se nos concentrarmos no impacto dos diferentes tipos de energia que usamos e como podemos torná-los mais confiáveis, podemos trabalhar para construir uma rede elétrica mais sustentável. A segunda edição do FIRST Global Challenge reuniu equipes na Arena da Cidade do México para competir sob este tema no jogo intitulado " Impacto Energético."

2018 JOGO: IMPACTO ENERGÉTICO

In Energy Impact, teams learn about real-world energy challenges surrounding electrical grid connectivity and the role of diverse sources of energy. In the game, two village alliances each compete to generate more power than the opposing village through a reaction plant, a combustion plant, a wind turbine, and solar panels. Villages must then make their grid more robust by parking at the village power station at the end of the match. Villages that work together to connect the coopertition power line also receive a bonus.

“ This is a model of the real world you’re going to inherit. You need to support each other, you need to go back to your countries and help us grow this program so that the world will have enough great people with the tools, resources, vision, and courage to take on big problems, working together, and solve them.”

 

—Dean Kamen, Fundador de FIRST Global

“By providing us with STEM tools, FIRST Global increases our capacity to develop ourselves, transform our communities, and fight global challenges.”

–Ibrahim, Team Chad 2018

“This whole experience has been absolutely amazing and has completely blown me away. Support for STEM is extremely important, not just for the advancement of any one of us, but for the advancement of all of us, regardless of nationality, borders, religion, beliefs, anything. It’s important that we can all move forward together, and the way through that is with technology. Possibly the greatest part of FIRST Global is the meeting of everyone and making friends with everybody.”

–Kai-pheonix, Team New Zealand 2018

I cannot describe how grateful, honored, and privileged I am to be part of such an amazing community of young, passionate, and talented STEM leaders from all over the globe. Seeing all the diversity and cultures that exist in the world, and cooperating and solving problems with all of them, gives me and my teammates inspiration and encouragement to continue extending opportunities to our community.”

–Tran, Team Vietnam 2018

“When I was first introduced to robotics and FIRST Global, I only realized then how STEM was accessible to me and how I could implement it in my real life. How I could use technology, as a teenager, to change my communities and change the face of my nation. So that has empowered me a lot to move forward and to dream bigger.”

–Barbara, Team South Africa 2018
