• Abstract:

  IETEC (Educational Incubator for Social Technology and Sciences) is an interdisciplinary extension project designed to address the need to inform the population about social technologies (ST) and the solidarity economy, developed at the Federal Technological University of Paraná. The project therefore aims to develop training and research practices on the need for information and the implementation of Social Technologies in school communities in formal and informal environments. The project uses the interaction between science, technology, society and the environment to formulate and develop its actions, so it was and is possible to make information available through lectures, the preparation of pedagogical notebooks and actions to implement the technologies, reaching from children to adults, in school environments or in the community in general. The actions carried out by the project aim to reach the population in an effective and easy-to-understand way so that the information reaches everyone. The involvement of teachers and students on grants and volunteers, as well as providing information through extension, is important to remember for academic growth in relation to the training of science and biology teachers.
