We have seen different spaces for the multidisciplinary projects of the students. The amazing space of "Fábrica de Inovação" (Innovation Factory) is a container adapted to receive students with hardware and software given by Apple and IBM, free of cost, where students can experiment and develop solutions for Apps, Drones, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and other technologies. The container can be placed on a truck for going to any city of Maranhão state.
