The Smithsonian Science Education Center and Interactive Developer Reuben Brenner-Adams were featured in two wrap-up videos from STEM TechCamp Brasil 2019: Inovação em Educação. The videos, accessible at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRtgOVDOhlU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjqxlScFH4E, highlight the SSEC’s participation in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Information Programs TechCamp public diplomacy initiative and, specifically, the work that Brenner-Adams did as a trainer and mentor in at STEM TechCamp Brasil 2019 in São Paulo, Brazil in February 2019. TechCamps are hands-on, participant-driven workshops that connect private sector technology experts with key populations—journalists, non-governmental organizations, civil society advocates, and more—to explore and apply innovative tech solutions to global issues. Brenner-Adams’s workshop, “From Analog to Digital: Rapidly Prototyping Your App,” aimed to give educators from diverse communities around Brazil a groundwork for prototyping games, apps, and other digital products with accessible and available tools.
