In early May 2020, Google chose Facens’ Liquid Galaxy LAB project to be part of the Google Summer of Code scholarship program, aimed at college students. This is the second consecutive year that Facens has won scholarships in the project for its students.
In all, three students will benefit from grants of approximately 200 thousand reais, which will allow them to participate in the program by doing their programming projects. This year, the winning projects are focused on Google’s map technology systems and Artificial Intelligence systems. This time, to carry out their projects and successfully complete the program, the students worked remotely, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This program has a very high international component, due to the fact that there is interaction with people from more than 100 different countries, which allows students to have unquestionable multicultural and linguistic experience. Last year, more than 20 Facens students participated in different educational programs that Google offers ”, highlights Marc Gonzalez Capdevila, coordinator of Facens Liquid Galaxy Lab.
Since 2019 Facens has a research laboratory based on Liquid Galaxy technology, where students receive training from professionals certified by Google in the areas of Web Programming, Mobile Development and Shell Script Programming. With a learning model based on continuous integration, students at Facens University Center who participate in the Liquid Galaxy project are trained to solve real high-level problems with the aim of providing a unique learning experience.
