Identificação de eventos culturais em páginas web relacionados com assuntos estudados por alunos do Ensino Fundamental e Médio

Abstract

With the virtualization of teaching, especially in primary and secondary education, which is one of the characteristics of the so-called post-pandemic "new normal", the difficulty for teachers to provide new learning experiences beyond lectures, and the difficulty for students to find content on event websites that is relevant to the subjects they learned in the classroom. This work develops a platform that helps students and teachers to find online or face-to-face events that have some relation with the subjects exposed in the classes through a filter. The platform consists of a frontend application that makes requests to a Rest API responsible for obtaining event information on the websites https://www.sympla.com.br and http://www.feirasdobrasil.com.br. The difference in the development of this system is the use of web scraping to obtain event information, that is, using the crawlers technique to go through the pages and subpages of the proposed sites and collect the necessary information about an event. In this way, users always have up-to-date information on events, with no risk of redundancy or outdated information.
