A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#67) – 4th November 2022: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The SUBA project.

At the beginning of this century, the Técnico professors took advantage of the opening of the Taguspark campus (Oeiras) and the enthusiasm generated by Rally among younger generations, and decided to create the SUBA pedagogical project, which was implemented on several Técnico courses. The initial aim was that students could study the electrical and electronic systems of the car, but the scope of the project spread at great speed. The students were able to drive the cars (about 40cm long) through programming, testing them on tracks created on the floor of Técnico laboratories and garages. It sounds like a competition, but it was a practical way of replacing traditional methods and leading students “to do engineering”.
