A 'segway' that can be remote controlled by mobile phones and a 3D robot caterpillar with an articulated arm to deactivate explosives are some of the novelties that the student association UPCT Makers leads to the Week of Science and Technology (SeCyT) that is celebrated from this Friday in the Garden of the Malecón of Murcia.
The director of the Séneca Foundation that organizes this event, Antonio González, and the general director of Community Universities, Juan Monzó, visited the workshop where these students of the School of Industrial of the Polytechnic of Cartagena finalize their remote control gadgets And where they print robots and portraits with the 3D printers they have made.
"It is a perfect example of the creativity of the engineers we want to enhance," said Antonio González.
"The next step is to create a 'startup' in the hand of the UPCT Entrepreneurship Chair," Juan Monzó has encouraged.
The Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena will show in the SeCyT "not only the applied projects of our researchers, but also the talent of our students", remarked the Vice Rector of Research, Beatriz Miguel.
La Politécnica reports on streaming from SeCyT
The Science and Technology Week can be followed through streaming thanks to the live broadcasting that will be carried out by the Center for the Production of Digital Content and the Communication Service of the UPCT.
La Politécnica gains presence in the informative fair not only for its multimedia bet, also through the permanent exhibition '5 spans' with the evolution of the orchard of Murcia investigated by the urban planners Marcos Ros and Miguel García and financed by Seneca, as well as (UPCT Bloopbusters), which will perform (on Friday at 19:00 and on Saturday at 19:45) on the stage of scientific shows.
In addition to these initiatives, the UPCT brings to SeCyT 37 interactive workshops in which attendees will be able to participate in the innovative projects of researchers and students of the University and start a long romance with science and technology.
The informative offer is aimed at both the youngest and the most adult, passionate about technology and its applications, such as the competition vehicles made by the students of the Polytechnic itself, or the robotic devices that also create their future engineers.
From the workshops of the UPCT you can go out with a hydroponic orchard under the arm to grow vegetables at home, with the memory of having played chess against a robotic arm with artificial intelligence, with answers to basic questions about water that we use daily And with the recipe to make a homemade electromagnetic defense against drones.
