Experience ESEG: Winning schools receive 3D printers to develop new projects.

The winning schools of the second edition of Experience ESEG – Schools 2026 Students began receiving the 3D printers they won as part of the competition's prize. The initiative, carried out by Faculdade ESEG, part of the Etapa Group, brought together 3rd-year high school students in challenges in the areas of Business, Law, and Engineering, bringing young people closer to university and professional life.

In addition to scholarships for students and awards for mentor teachers, the schools that won first place in each category received a 3D printer, expanding the possibilities for hands-on learning and project development in schools.

Colégio Integração is betting on 3D printing to help NGOs.

On August 17, 2026, ESEG College delivered the 3D printer to Integration College, school that uses the Step System teaching.

The institution won first and second place in the Business category. The first team was made up of Rayssa Esther Silva Gomes Luiz, Maria Fernanda Rezende Freitas Alberto and Anna Clara Cavalcante Franco.

The delivery was attended by the teacher. Raquel de Freitas Rodrigues, of the winning students, the runners-up, and the coordinator Renata Aparecida de Castro Rodrigues.

The new printer arrives at the school to expand projects that are already being developed by the students.

“"The school had already received a printer in a previous edition of Experience, and currently, the students are planning to work on producing souvenirs and keychains that can be sold to raise funds for an NGO," said the coordinator.

About Experience Business, Rayssa said it was an opportunity to put her knowledge into practice and learn more about management and finance. The student recounts that, at the beginning of the activity, she and her classmates believed they had little chance of winning, but the experience changed as the group progressed through the challenge.

“"The whole experience was great. At the beginning of the process, we really thought we didn't have a chance, but as it went on and we learned how to manage the finances and the company, in the end everything worked out and we succeeded," she recounts.

Anna Clara left a message for other students who have the desire and opportunity to participate. “It was a very special experience. We received the 100% merit scholarship at the university. And if you can go, definitely go. It's a unique experience,” she says.

3D printer to be integrated into technology projects at ETEC Camargo Aranha

A ETEC Prof. Camargo Aranha, winner of the edition Experience ESEG – Engineering, He also received a 3D printer in recognition of his performance.

The winning team consisted of Luis Dantas Marinho, Thiago Nestor Afonso dos Santos, Ana Luiza Marques de Oliveira, Heitor da Silva Casares and Rubens Gabriel Policeno de Souza.

The delivery was attended by Professor Davi Vilar, from the Systems Development department. The arrival of the equipment at the school should contribute to the creation of projects that integrate technology, programming, robotics, and 3D printing.

According to Davi Vilar, ETEC is already structuring a partnership with a company to offer robotics classes to students, in addition to developing specific activities so that students can explore the printer's capabilities.

The proposal is related to Joint Studies of Secondary Education (ECEM), An initiative in which the students themselves participate in defining the topics and creating the materials used in the meetings.

Among the possibilities is the development of projects involving 3D modeling and printing. Students will research how the equipment works, gather technical information, and develop materials to share with their peers.

“"The idea is for students to have an active role in all stages, from research and ideation to defining the products that will be developed and printed," explains Davi.

In this way, the 3D printer becomes yet another tool for transforming technology content into practical experiences.

Experience ESEG extends learning beyond competition.

The second edition of Experience ESEG – Schools The event, held in May, brought together students from partner schools to participate in challenges in the areas of Business, Law, and Engineering. The activities were structured to stimulate creativity, strategic thinking, teamwork, and decision-making in situations similar to those encountered in the professional environment.

In the category of Law, the Santa Amália School won first place with the team made up of Francisco Estabile de Almeida, Murilo Campolin, Yasmin Camura, Hana Silvestre Thieme and Stella Brito, under the guidance of Professor Vinicius dos Santos Ignácio.
