The students face 5,000 questions elaborated and adapted to the educational stages of Secondary and Baccalaureate
The online contest 'Retame and I learn' of educational innovation in institutes in the Region has begun today with 3,835 students enrolled in Secondary and Baccalaureate.
The educational program is promoted by the Ministry of Education and Universities with the collaboration of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT).
The game was activated at midnight and at 26 seconds the first challenge was launched.
"She was a high school student from IES Jiménez de la España and had a very clear mind despite the time, achieved a full seven hits," says Mathieu Kessler, Vice Chancellor of Information Technologies and Communications.
"In the first hour, until 00:59, sixty challenges were launched across the Region," adds Kessler.
The rival of the girl who launched the first challenge was Cristian Meroño, from his own institute.
"As soon as I received the notification of the challenge to the mobile, I answered, but I failed to ask any questions", recalled this morning the student of 1 ° Bachillerato.
However, he has won the rest of the challenges he has launched this morning and leads the ranking of his institute with Andrés Álvarez and Isabel Martínez.
"We had a free time and half of the class were playing 'Retame and I learn'", recognizes Andrés.
"It bites you a lot and then you spend all your lives," Isabel admitted.
"It is not so much a matter of winning as playing with fellow students of the institute and you also get extra knowledge of general culture and subjects that we will examine in Selectividad", said these students of the IES Jiménez de la Espada, which with 234 participants is the Center where more students have enrolled.
Of the questions, they emphasized that "those of mathematics are of scare or death".
