It encourages me, thrills me, he says.
Relaxed, Mariana said computer science is still a mystery to her, as there are many new commands to learn. According to her, when the young people came across their arrival at the course, the environment soon became familiar and aggregating. I had a grateful sensation and satisfaction.

Inclusion Computers
Through this program, students learn from CRCs throughout Brazil to recondition computers.
The spaces, located in the capitals, receive idle machines from public agencies and banks. The equipment goes through a screening. What is useful goes into the hands of young people, who learn to fix them. The other pieces are discarded without damage to the environment. When machines are recovered and receive new life, the Ministry of Communications donates them to places they need, such as public schools and social projects in needy and remote areas. Anyone can enroll in free CRCs courses. In the end, students receive certificates and new experiences for the curriculum in the search for a job.
