“To infinity and beyond”, the catchphrase of the animated character Buzz Lightyear, is the theme of the 6th Campus Party Brasília, which takes place until Sunday (31) at the Mané Garrincha National Stadium. In total, there are 500 speakers covering topics such as astronomy, artificial intelligence and fake news. Around 100,000 people are expected to participate in the Open Campus area, free and open to the public.
On the 30th, Saturday, at 10:30 am, one of the attractions is the workshop “First steps in robotics”, with Casemonstro and Paulo Lenz. The activity will teach in a practical way the basic concepts and main components for controlling a robot. Anyone over 12 years old can participate, and no prior knowledge of the topic is required.
On the same day, at 11:10 am, the workshop “Assemble your virtual reality glasses”, with Isabella Barbosa Ribeiro and Sarah de Mendonça Marçal. Participants will be able to build their own equipment to experience games and movies in an immersive way.
On Sunday (31), the Brazilian Cosplay League selection takes place in the individual presentation category. The competition is worth a place in the final, which will take place at the Anime Summit, in April, and is worth a trip to Japan.
