Campus Party – Disclosure / Campus Party
For the CEO of Campus Party Brasil, Tonico Novaes, all activities are interesting, but he highlights the CRISPR stage. “We are starting to bring this issue to the Campus Party, BioHack in genome, because we experienced the problem of covid 19 and it was thanks to this mapping of the genetic sequencing of the SARS-COV that made the vaccine possible. And we want to do much more. We’re going to have a lab here that will 3D print the vegetable meat. The idea with this is to show that through a study of stem cells it is already possible to print human organs with their own stem cells, a heart, a lung, a kidney, without having to wait for someone to die to perform an organ transplant. It is an advance in science that will make it possible to save many lives!”.
This year there will also be five hackathons from different areas of knowledge, but with the aim of using technology to help in the digital transformation of sectors such as education, tourism and inclusion. The Accenture Challenge aims to find a mechanism to promote entrepreneurial culture in the favela; the Acessibilithon Confweb Challenge, has a partnership with RNP (National Education and Research Network, a social organization linked to the ministries of Science, Technology and Innovation and Communications) and wants to use technology to break down barriers to inclusion.
The Microsoft Challenge, on the other hand, has as its theme learning solutions and their technologies for everyone using Microsoft Azure; Visa Challenge that aims to use technology to improve the traveler experience, and the BNB Chain Challenge seeks solutions for public health through Blockchain. Hackathon is a marathon to promote a technological solution, such as an application, software, program or any other type of tool.
Campus Party has more than 550 thousand registered campus members worldwide, and has already produced editions in Spain, Holland, Mexico, Germany, United Kingdom, Argentina, Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Colombia and Ecuador.
