The School of Science at the University of Navarra has once again organized educational activities for schools as part of Science Week. From November 10 to 14, 1,300 students—from 4th year of ESO to 2nd year of high school diplomawere introduced to science through the educational activities offered by the academic center.
In total, 1.300 attendees from 19 schools in Navarra, Guipúzcoa, La Rioja and Burgos: Adériz, IES Julio Caro Baroja, Santa Luisa de Marillac, Ikastola Paz de Ziganda, high school Luis Amigó, FEC Vedruna, IES Berriozar, high school María Inmaculada, high school Irabia-Izaga, IES Sierra de Leyre, high school Liceo Monjardín, IES Padre Moret-Irubide, Miravalles- El Redín, IES Barañain, Aldapeta María ikastetxea (San Sebastián), high school Jesuitas (San Sebastián), high school Sagrados Corazones (Miranda de Ebro), Maristas (Logroño) and St. Patricks (San Sebastián). Patricks (San Sebastián).
The School of Science organized the following science workshops: biology—methods and tools for studying wildlife; geology—observing the rocks that make up Navarre and the minerals they contain; microbiology—the microorganisms around us; insects—interesting facts about their Anatomy, biology, and relationships with humans; Chemistry and fire; Genetics techniques work to analyze DNA present in a sample at a crime scene; Physics—how we have statement throughout history: smoke, lights, and flags; Morse code; wired and wireless telephony; fiber optics; and mobile. In addition, the university’sWomen for Science and Technology group has introduced the game“Wanna be a Scientist?” to students at local schools.
During Science Week, participants were also able to enjoy informative sessions on different branches of knowledge, given by professors Iñaki Echeverría, Ana Patiño, Raúl Bermejo, Elena Puerta and Enrique Baquero: "Artificial intelligence and its footprint in scientific research "; "If we talk about Genetics, we are all mutants"; "Travelers of the Planet: discovering landscapes and environmental challenges"; "How drugs trap you: discover what happens in your brain"; and "Nature as an engineer: biomimetics".
Science and Technology Week is an annual event organized by the School of Science the University of Navarra to make science accessible to everyone. In this same vein, and with the aim of inspiring new scientific vocations and training future scientists, the School will accompany all students and their families interested in the academic programs to the University of Navarra’s workshop on Saturday, November 22.
