After having two weeks of hard work and going to Lectures and amazing site visits through the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro I began to link all of the pieces together. I realized that both countries are facing major problems. Brazil relies on the wet season to fill in the reservoirs and US depends a lot on fossil fuels. Even though there are some problems we saw the solution too. The lectures provided us vast knowledge on many the ways to produce green energy and understand the challenges that the engineers will have to face in the coming years to change the current scenario.

During the course we also had the opportunity to make friends that we will have for the rest of our lives.
