paraisópolis

Photographs taken during the MIT Brazil Program course "Design in Social Contexts", which investigated and proposed projects for Paraisopolis, the largest favela in the city of São Paulo, fostering the investigation, discussion and team experience through the understanding of contexts of social complexity for analysis and problem solving.

The video was made to publicize the work done during the course and to attract donors to fund the computers for the continuity of the program during the pandemic. With the repercussion of the video, we were able to get sponsorship from a computer rental company, and later the donation of laptops for all low-income students in the community to continue studying.
