ABSTRACT:
The pandemic has brought many consequences for society, especially in education for those that are less fortunate. In Brazil, public policy measures taken weren’t enough to help an expressive percentual number of students in their academy journey during the pandemic. Giving this, this paper presents a teaching-learning model based on flipped classroom to the development of hard and soft skills in universities students and young people from Brazilian outskirts, helping to fill the gap left by the insufficient educational formation during the pandemic and encouraging them to start a higher education, especially in the IT market, which is a promising area with many opportunities. Three cases studies were carried out by this paper, with outskirts from three states of Brazil. Results show that the model is scalable and therefore, can be applied in different communities with small adaptations. It could be observed that university students developed many skills by participating on the project and young people from the outskirts learned new contents, developed their confidence and their motivation to start higher education and some of them even got job opportunities because of the project.
