📋 Tender Overview
Around 360 students from Aldeia Amambai, from the Guarani Kaiowa (MS) indigenous community, will benefit from robotics and computer assembly courses offered by Carreta Digital, a program run by the Ministry of Communications. The itinerant initiative, carried out by the Brazilian Network for Certification, Research and Innovation (RBCIP), arrives in the village this January, bringing technological training and digital inclusion to young people on the border with Paraguay. The mobile unit is equipped with a technology laboratory and reinforces MComs commitment to expanding access to technological education in vulnerable communities.
In February, Carreta Digital remains in Mato Grosso do Sul, to serve students from two other villages, being installed in Limao Verde, where 90 students from the community itself and 30 from Aldeia Jaguari will be served, totaling 120 participants.
The Carreta Digital initiative is a huge step forward in terms of training and digital inclusion. It is bringing more than opportunities and knowledge; it is also bringing citizenship to young people, mainly from the Guarani Kaiowa community. That is the objective. No indigenous community will be left behind, stated the Minister of Communications, Frederico de Siqueira Filho.
Aldeia Amambai has approximately 13 thousand indigenous people, and the presence of the truck in the community highlights an important advance in the democratization of access to technology for young indigenous people, who will now have available courses focused on practical knowledge and inclusion in the job market in the technological area.
We are offering public school students access to teachings related to technology. These are courses that will generate opportunities for young people to enter the job market, in addition to facilitating the application of this knowledge in the school environment and in everyday life, highlighted Aline Marcon, national coordinator of the project by RBCIP.
The initiative has a partnership with the City of Amambai to reinforce public policies for digital inclusion, education and professional qualification in the region, with a special focus on indigenous communities. Carreta Digital represents an advance in digital literacy, training and social transformation of the local population.
During 2025, Carreta Digital toured the Federal District, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Maranhao and Pernambuco, offering training in the area of technology to communities with limited access. The project will continue to expand to all regions of the country.
About Carreta Digital
Carreta Digital works in an immersive learning environment, known as a Maker Space, equipped with cutting-edge technologies. The entire structure is assembled inside an adapted truck, which travels around the country taking face-to-face classes to regions with little or no technological training on offer.
Among the courses offered are Robotics, Game Development and Assembly of High Performance Computers (PC Gamers), with a focus on practical learning and direct connection with the demands of the job market.
