With the Satellite Ships, SMCT seeks to expand multipurpose and interactive spaces to accelerate and encourage the digital, scientific and technological training of the population of the city of Rio. The new Satellite Ships expand the content and activities that the Knowledge Ships provide to other regions. already offer successfully. The expectation is that the Satellite Ship will serve around 450 people per month. Two more units are also planned to be implemented in the West Zone later this year.
– This project is important because it expands the Ships of Knowledge. We need to bring technology closer to people’s homes. To achieve this, we created this Satellite Ships project. They are smaller ships, taking advantage of the structure of the Cieps libraries. With smaller ships, we will be able to spread more units throughout the city, giving people more and more access to technology. After all, technology is changing the world, so we need to facilitate and democratize access for everyone – said the Secretary of Science and Technology, Tatiana Roque.
