Nearly 600 Secondary and Baccalaureate students from 24 centers in the Region will practice virtual reality, programming and electronics every year in the new STEM classroom that the Higher Technical School of Telecommunications Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena has launched. the collaboration of the Autonomous Community.
The new space, which has involved an investment of 45,000 euros and is co-financed by the Community and the UPCT, is equipped with virtual reality glasses, mechanical systems, such as static bicycles and pedalos, arduino kits and Rasperri Pi and various tools for electrical mounting.
According to the director of the ETSIT, Juan Ángel Pastor, the objective of this new space is that students from educational centers throughout the Region can go to the Polytechnic of Cartagena to do practices related to these subjects and that later the UPCT will return the visit.
The idea is that 600 secondary and high school students can pass through here each year, reports Pastor, who stresses that this space will not be exclusively dedicated to outside students, but can be used by student associations of the UPCT to carry out their research or, even, so that students of the 'Quiero ser Ingeniera' program or the technological campuses can do their internships or establish collaborations with IES and training cycle centers.
The inauguration of the space was attended by the rector of the UPCT, Alejandro Díaz, the director of the School of Teleco, Juan Ángel Pastor and the general managers of Information Technology and Telecommunications, Juan José Almela, and of Attention to Diversity, Francisco Martínez.
