Implementation of Extension Projects in Chemistry at SENAI CIMATEC University: Experience Report

Abstract

This article describes the current extension projects in chemistry at SENAI CIMATEC University, which includes innovative and sustainable practices that can generate income for the most vulnerable population, combined with initiatives to enhance student education and promote scientific outreach. All these actions are based on the Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs, such as quality education, reduced inequalities, and sustainable communities. To make this a reality, two projects were implemented: “CIMATEC Saneantes” and “Química Inspira: Um Show de Química”. The result is the engagement of undergraduate students with the community, developing scientific knowledge.
