Yesterday, Thursday 1 June, the inauguration of the SIMIP'17 congress took place, an event that this year marks its second edition and in which the students of the Baccalaureate of Research of the Institutes of Secondary Education Mediterranean, Isaac Peral and San Isidoro de Cartagena will present some thirty projects.
The opening ceremony was attended by other people, the mayor of the city, Jose López, and the rector of the UPCT, Alejandro Díaz Morcillo, who after the opening ceremony could visit and learn from the students' voice the works that are exposed.
This congress, in which the students of the Baccalaureate of Excellence show their projects and works, will take place in the School of Agronomists of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT), located in the Paseo Alfonso XIII, in front of the Regional Assembly.
It is an initiative in which almost 80 students participate and whose main objective is to promote and bring research to the pre-university students.
During the Congress, the students of 1º de Bachillerato present the results of their research works in the form of oral presentation and the corresponding poster.
Some of the themes of this year are related to sugar, sport and health, earthquakes, medieval table games, home automation, geometry, arduino, mobile applications, cellular aging or geodetection, among others.
The exhibited works can be seen until the afternoon of Friday, June 2.
The SIMIP'17 takes its name from the initials of each of the three participating institutes (San Isidoro, Mediterráneo and Isaac Peral).
It began as an initiative of IES Isaac Peral and Mediterranean, which San Isidoro later joined.
The UPCT supported this proposal by providing a place to celebrate it.
The first edition was held last year, in which the students of the Baccalaureate of Research of these three centers could expose the projects in which they had been working during the academic year.
