Violeta — Fixed and on tour

 

A cou­ple of weeks ago Luis Dinis, took Vio­le­ta for a demons­tra­ti­on @ IBM

Accor­ding to his report the pre­sen­ta­ti­on was a success 🙂

 

Entre os dias 10 e 13 de Julho, a “Vio­le­ta” este­ve em demons­tra­ção na IBM.

Esta opor­tu­ni­da­de sur­giu no âmbi­to da ini­ci­a­ti­va EX.I.T.E. — EXplo­rar os Inte­res­ses pela Tec­no­lo­gia e Enge­nha­ria que é rea­li­za­da em Por­tu­gal des­de 2005 e no âmbi­to das prá­ti­cas de res­pon­sa­bi­li­da­de soci­al da IBM.

Este pro­gra­ma glo­bal visa con­tri­buir para a redu­ção da dis­pa­ri­da­de de géne­ro, nome­a­da­men­te no que se refe­re ao aces­so às áre­as das enge­nha­ri­as e ciên­ci­as e ao tra­ba­lho cola­bo­ra­ti­vo, por par­te de jovens rapa­ri­gas na fai­xa etá­ria dos 11 aos 13 anos.

A “Vio­le­ta” fez um suces­so, espe­ci­al­men­te por­que o con­cei­to de impres­são em 3D é rela­ti­va­men­te recen­te e mais ain­da quan­do se per­ce­be que uma ino­va­ção des­tas pode ser fei­ta atra­vés da sim­ples cola­bo­ra­ção entre um gru­po de pessoas.”

 

Betwe­en the 10th and the 13th July, “Vio­let” went on demons­tra­ti­on at IBM.

This oppor­tu­nity sur­fa­ced from the EX.I.T.E (EXplo­re the Inte­rests for Tech­no­logy and Engi­ne­e­ring), ini­ti­a­ti­ve that has been orga­ni­zed in Por­tu­gal sin­ce 2005 and from IBM’s soci­al res­pon­si­bi­lity practices.

This glo­bal pro­gram aims to con­tri­bu­te to the reduc­ti­on on gen­der dis­pa­rity, namely brid­ge the ease of access to col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve work on the are­as of engi­ne­e­ring and sci­en­ces, for young girls with ages com­pri­sed from 11 to 13 years old.

“Vio­let” was a suc­cess, spe­ci­ally becau­se of the rela­ti­ve recent con­cept that is 3D Prin­ting, and more so when one rea­li­zes that such a inno­va­ti­on can be achi­e­ved by sim­ple group collaboration.”

 

This is not, but could as well be the start of a tour for vio­let. So to all of you that are rea­ding out the­re, if you want Vio­let to visit your scho­ol, your com­pany, your col­lec­ti­ve… form a group, wri­te the group names on a list and drop us a mail, chan­ces are you will be seeing Vio­let Live soon, here’s the press rele­a­se appro­ved by IBM
