New Space: Access to space - Basics
The spirit of NewSpace is revolutionizing our vision of access to space. Reading keys will enable you to understand the technological and strategic challenges in games with new rules, fixed by ambitious players. Combine the new technologies and management of space access with the classical paradigm of the existing space context. It is difficult to give a definition of the New Space, but we can say that there are several aspects that characterize the New Space and access to space in the New Space: innovation, private actors, reducing the price of access to space, space for all, awareness of societal challenges. In this course, you will first acquire basic knowledge to understand how to access space. This will concern mission analysis, launchers, and rocket engines design. This introductory information will help you to understand what characterizes space access in the New Space in relation to three main aspects: 1. Methodologies of design, development, and production of launchers and rockets 2. Innovative technologies 3. Sustainable space with the future development of green launchers, towards a green space

Build Console Games in C: Apply Game Logic Skills
Learners will apply core C programming concepts, design interactive console games, and analyze game logic through hands-on project development. By the end of this course, learners will be able to build complete single-player and two-player games in C, implement menu-driven programs, manage arrays and strings, apply randomization, validate user input, and control program flow using loops and conditional logic. This course offers a practical, project-based approach to learning C programming by guiding learners through the development of two classic games: Hangman and Tic-Tac-Toe. Instead of focusing on isolated syntax, learners progressively translate concepts into real working programs. Each module builds logically on the previous one, allowing learners to strengthen problem-solving skills while gaining confidence in writing structured, maintainable C code. What makes this course unique is its game-centric learning design, where learners experience how foundational C concepts are applied in realistic programming scenarios. By completing the course, learners gain reusable coding patterns, stronger logical thinking, and the ability to design their own console-based applications—skills that are directly transferable to advanced programming, system development, and interview preparation.

Performance that Sticks: Coaching, Delegation & Development
e.g. This is primarily aimed at first- and second-year undergraduates interested in engineering or science, along with high school students and professionals with an interest in programming.Most performance problems don’t fail because people don’t care—they fail because “good” is unclear, feedback is fuzzy, and development has no system behind it. In this course, you’ll learn a practical, repeatable approach to improving performance that’s grounded in clear standards, coaching conversations that lead to behavior change, and development mechanisms that actually stick. You’ll start by turning vague expectations (like “be more proactive”) into observable performance standards tied to outcomes and behaviors. Then you’ll build a lightweight scorecard using a handful of leading and lagging signals—so performance discussions are fair, specific, and based on shared evidence instead of memory or impressions. Next, you’ll practice giving feedback that’s actionable and non-judgmental using structured models like SBI and AID, and you’ll add feed-forward techniques to shift conversations from rehashing mistakes to improving what happens next. From there, you’ll design development systems that scale: delegation levels matched to readiness and risk, Individual Development Plans with milestones, and deliberate practice loops supported by mini-rubrics. Finally, you’ll learn how to manage performance variance across a team—supporting high performers without creating hero culture, unlocking growth in solid contributors, and addressing low performance with clarity—while building peer coaching and mentorship structures that reinforce development beyond the manager.

Redes Ecológicas
Todos os seres vivos estão conectados entre si por interações ecológicas, formando a “colina emaranhada” de Darwin, metáfora inspirada pela “teia da vida” de Humboldt. Desemaranhar essa complexidade é uma tarefa desafiadora, mas factível, desde que você use ferramentas adequadas. A ciência de redes nos ajuda com excelentes ferramentas conceituais e operacionais. Você aceita este chamado para a aventura? Então venha conosco aprender os fundamentos sobre redes ecológicas! Seguindo esse espírito, este curso visa ajudar pessoas interessadas em dar seus primeiros passos na análise de redes aplicada à Ecologia. Este é um curso introdutório, focado especialmente em redes de interações. Redes sociais e redes espaciais também são mencionadas, mas não de forma aprofundada, nas diversas atividades do curso. Dedicando-se a essas atividades durante quatro semanas, ao final deste curso você terá adquirido uma visão geral sobre as teorias que orientam o estudo de redes ecológicas. Além disso, você será capaz de analisar gráfica- e numericamente, além de interpretar, dados de redes usando a linguagem de programação R. Dessa forma, para aproveitar bem este curso você deve dominar habilidades básicas na linguagem R, além de ter familiaridade com conceitos básicos em Ecologia em nível de graduação. Mais concretamente, é importante que você já saiba como importar dados para o R, além de usar pacotes e rodar funções. Não é necessário saber construir funções personalizadas (UDFs). Para ir além, aproveitando o conteúdo extra sugerido para aprofundamento posterior ao curso, é recomendável saber ler em inglês. Vale lembrar também que a ajuda dos pacotes e funções do R é toda escrita em inglês, então dominar a leitura nesse idioma também é importante para analisar dados com mais desenvoltura. Também é importante mencionar que diversos conceitos estatísticos são mencionados no curso. Portanto, ter conhecimento básico sobre probabilidade, distribuições de dados, medidas de tendência central e medidas de dispersão ajuda muito. Se você ainda não domina os fundamentos da linguagem R, recomendo que primeiro faça um dos excelentes cursos introdutórios disponíveis aqui na Coursera, como "R Programming" ou "The R Programming Environment". Há também aqui excelentes cursos introdutórios de estatística que podem lhe ensinar o básico sobre análise de dados. Aviso: como este é um remoto no formato MOOC, construído para ser escalonado e automatizado, não há atendimento direto pelos instrutores, mas apenas interação espontânea com outros alunos nos fóruns de discussão.
