our mission is to make technology and social innovation a place for everyone. we work across four complementary areas, each with its own initiatives — all run in partnership with communities, schools and governments.

opportunities in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics education — community spaces become innovation labs.
A club for technology, art and invention inside the public school — and free of charge. Seven hands-on months, from the first creative jam to the stage of the Festival Hackerclubes.
Minas em Tech is a Casa Hacker project in partnership with PPG Brasil, offering a free technology course for girls in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of secondary school. The course runs all year in Sumaré (São Paulo State) and teaches programming, 3D printing, robotics and artificial intelligence.
the periphery is tech, is pop, is innovation. we invest in grassroots impact leaders who are transforming their territories.
If you are from São Paulo or Campinas and already run a social or cultural project in the quebrada, this programme is for you: dedicated mentoring, training, financial support and networks to turn ideas into initiatives that transform territories.

A community hub for civic participation and citizenship in the Campo Grande district of Campinas. Peripheral intelligence — collectives, leaders, groups and associations — at the centre of solutions created by the quebrada itself.
we develop socio-digital inclusion initiatives for people of all ages — safety, privacy and digital wellbeing as the right of every territory.
Free training in digital citizenship for those who educate and transform communities. A Casa Hacker initiative, with in-person training in five cities: Sumaré, Hortolândia, Nova Odessa, Campinas and Americana.
Basic digital education for people at their first contact with a computer: learning tracks by age group, built from the Bytes de Mudanças field research and transferred as social technology to social assistance organisations in Campinas.
we train young people in civic participation and advocate on public policy for digital rights, education, youth, race and gender.
Our legislative radar monitors federal and São Paulo state bills that affect science and technology education in public schools and the access of peripheral, Black people, girls and women to STEAM education.
