THE PROGRAM
Inspire Science is the basic education teacher training programme run by the Museum of Tomorrow, IDG – Instituto de Desenvolvimento e Gestão and the British Council to promote a vibrant science education that brings together schools, museums and universities. The programme is sponsored by IBM.
The four editions of the programme so far have attracted the participation of over 300 teachers from the public and private school networks throughout Brazil, covering more than 136,000 students and around 500 schools. This is tangible proof of the impact of investing in teacher training.

Theory and practice
Inspire Science provides participant teachers the opportunity to explore fundamental issues in Astronomy, Geology, Palaeontology, Biology and Ecology in a cycle of encounters with scientists and university professors.
New technologies
The teachers also try out new technologies and approaches to education in workshops with professionals from museums, scientific publication and schools teachers to encourage learning through investigation.
Teaching experiences
Participants also create class plans in interdisciplinary groups to apply their new knowledge, exchange experiences and take advantage of the wealth of collections of the museums for teaching and learning.
