EnglishThe Ministry of Education and the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games Rio 2016 created the Transform Project, it provided training for teachers and students from public and private schools throughout Brazil, offering teaching material about the Olympic and Paralympic Movement, publicizing the education with Olympic values, the experimentation of new sports and engaging students in Rio 2016 Games. The Project was developed through the use of technologies, by internet, allowing the access to the material in every school in Brazil. A legacy to the Olympic Education left by Rio 2016, however, something similar but in a smaller dimension had already been done in Brazil in 1999 and 2000, with the Olympic Education Manual in School, it was available in two books in internet, one for teacher and another one for the students and it was distributed through a homepage. Today it is possible to identify the places where downloads were done, in other words, geolocalize the material downloaded, estimating its reaching and relation with the geographic space. From the information obtained of the materials downloaded in its four dimensions – teacher, pedagogical coordinator, tutor and digital content – geospatial analyzes of the schools which had access to the material were done and their relation with the official education data, the geographic census and economic data. The analysis of the dimension where the Project reached in Brazil and its geospatial relation with the territory verified that it was present in every Brazilian state and in more than half of their municipalities. portuguesO Ministerio da Educacao e o Comite Organizador dos Jogos Olimpicos Rio 2016 criaram o Projeto Transforma que proporcionou a capacitacao para os professores e alunos das redes publica e particular em todo Brasil, oferecendo material didatico sobre o Movimento Olimpico e Paralimpico, divulgando a educacao dos valores olimpicos, a experimentacao de novos esportes e o envolvimento dos escolares nos Jogos Rio 2016. O Projeto foi desenvolvido atraves do uso das tecnologias, via internet, possibilitando o acesso ao material a todas escolas do Brasil. Um legado para Educacao Olimpica deixado pelos Jogos Rio 2016, entretanto, algo semelhante, numa dimensao muito menor, ja havia sido realizado no Brasil nos anos 99/00, com o Manual Educacao Olimpica na Escola, que disponibilizava atraves da internet dois cadernos, um para professor e outro para alunos e era distribuido atraves de uma homepage. Hoje podemos identificar os locais onde foram realizados os downloads, ou seja, geolocalizar o material “baixado”, como isso, estimar seu alcance e relacoes com o espaco geografico. A partir das informacoes obtidas dos downloads dos materiais do Projeto Transforma, em suas 4 dimensoes – professor, coordenador pedagogico, tutor e conteudo digital foram realizadas analises geoespaciais das escolas que tiveram acesso ao material e suas relacoes com dados oficiais da educacao, do censo geografico e dados economicos. Nas analises da dimensao do alcance do Projeto Transforma no Brasil e suas relacoes geoespaciais com o territorio verificou-se que o projeto esteve presente em todos estados brasileiros e em mais da metade dos seus municipios.
