SESI Lab emerges as a unique museum on the Brazilian cultural scene. Created with the mission of connecting artistic, scientific and technological processes, it was designed to ispire people to act in the present to create possibilities for the future. Based in a close collaboration between industry and society, and employing an educational approach that stimulates creativity an collaboration, SESI Lab arrives on the scene to foster proactive forms of perceiving the world and changing it for the better. The new venue was deisgned to welcome people of all ages, interests and experiences, while providing an inviting environment for critical learning. A place where science is not only seen in its technical form, but also in terms of the consequences its advances may have for human life and for the development of the planet. This is how SESI Lab aims to become an agent for innovation and social transformation, by reinventing the ways people access and produce knowledge, and connecting with the new demands of industry and with the needs and changes of the world. For this reason, the SESI Lab project is intimately linked to formal education. Since its conception, it has endeavored to fulfill the requirements of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), especially with respect to the development of competencies for the 21st century, preparing young people for the world of work and helping them become active citizens. At SESI Lab, this methodology has been made available to school age children and everyone else, to serve as a place of interaction between a variety of life experiences. For all those reasons, SESI Lab is, above all, a place that endeavors to stimulate independent thinking based on the protagonism of each visitor in his own process of perceiving and construction of meanings. Key to this is the dynamic of "learning by doing", which occurs through interaction with the exhibits and with the educators in multidisciplinary experiments, in which there are no borders between different fields of knowledge. Finally, SESI Lab is a place for research and collaborative creation, as a result of the activities developed alongside maker culture, in which individuals are encouraged to create their own exhibits to resolve daily issues. The essential element of all this is a program which focus id to assist visitors in creating personal and social connections with the presented themes based on aspects of their daily lives.
