The technological dissemination fair of the UPCT shows from May 2 to 4 more than 4,000 students their latest research, such as a kart built with 3D printers or a vitamin C juice meter
The disseminators of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena have created a fortnight of new workshops and scientific exhibitions for its premiere in the Campus of Engineering, the technology fair that will visit, between May 2 and 4, about 4,300 students of Children, Primary, Secondary and FP of the entire Region.
During the three days of the Engineering Campus, which will be inaugurated this Wednesday at 10:00, there will be a total of 77 technological demonstrations, 48 ​​of them made by students and researchers of the UPCT, 15 of colleges and institutes and 14 of companies and institutions.
The UPCT will present visitors with new challenges such as an Agro Escape with games and agronomic riddles, a championship of prey and a mental scalextric with which to control, by means of brain waves, a car in a circuit.
Another novelty related to the automotive industry will be a completely built kart, except the engine and the transmission, with 3D printing, the same technology with which low-cost prostheses have been manufactured that will also be exhibited.
No less spectacular will be the pyrotechnics workshop in which a large firecracker will be exploited inside a reinforced pot to explain the thermochemical reactions and pressure, temperature, shock waves and noise that are generated.
A rainwater clarifier as an alternative to storm tanks is another of the UPCT's innovative projects that will be detailed to young attendees, who can also become mini-engineers and learn architectural techniques such as photogrammetry.
A measure of vitamin C in commercial juices using amparometric techniques and a workshop on recognition of the aroma of foods will be other novelties.
The Engineering Campus exhibits scientific-technical demonstrations, both researchers and students of the UPCT, as well as technological companies and students of Primary and Secondary whose teachers have taken a training course of the Center for Teachers and Resources (CPR) of the Autonomous Community.
The Seneca Foundation supports this initiative by awarding a trip to students and their classmates, who present the best dissemination workshops.
The Campus of Engineering is the star activity, with more than 4,000 visitors from educational centers throughout the Region of Murcia, from the Unit of Scientific Culture and Innovation of the UPCT, which has the support of the Spanish Foundation for the Science and Technology - Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness.
