The show of scientific and technical dissemination that takes place this weekend in Murcia can be followed live through tv.upct.es and Secyt itself with a television format that will include interviews with researchers and the contest 'Retame y aprendo' from educational gaudification.
The Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) brings to this new edition of the Science and Technology Week forty Engineering and Architecture workshops that show the potential of their applied research and their teams and student associations.
An exhibition on holograms, virtual reality glasses to learn topography, Lego robots, competition vehicles and 3D printed gadgets such as miollectric prosthetics and automaton lamps stand out among the workshops of the Polytechnic.
Researchers and students of the School of Architecture and Building will facilitate that young people can rethink the urban uses of the Mar Menor on a large model of the salt lake, in order to find the most sustainable ways to inhabit this unique environment in the Peninsula.
Helmets, harnesses and safety nets also populate the space of our architects and building engineers to explain the prevention measures in the works.
Water is the protagonist in most workshops of our School of Roads and Mines, with models and audiovisual innovations that explain how the vital liquid element reaches the faucets of each house, how it is used to produce electrical energy, how it shapes the rivers and reservoirs and how to try to stop their thrust through dams.
The geophysics of the earth's crust, the construction of towers and bridges and the structure of buildings are other knowledge that our engineers will reveal.
The submarine robots of our Naval and Oceanic School discover sunken ships hundreds of years ago, locate oil spills and control the quality of the waters in which you bathe.
Come and immerse yourself.
The competition teams that produce students from the Industrial School will roar throughout the weekend.
Find out how they design, build and tune single-seaters, motorcycles and solar vehicles with which they compete internationally in speed circuits.
The drone piloting and development team and the IEEE-UPCT association, which creates innovative electronic devices, will also show their ingenuity.
Researchers who avoid the extinction of the jara de Cartagena, those who investigate the genome of flowers, those who fight against pests with natural allies, those who grow without soil, those who pollinate with special bumblebees, those who develop smart packaging , or those who apply heat and cold to preserve food will show how the engineers of the School of Agronomists take care of the environment and optimize our agro-industry.
Developed by our engineers at the School of Telecommunications, applications of information and communication technologies such as biosensors, medical telecare, the location of mobile phones via WiFi or of people using Bluetooth facilitate our day to day, where the Internet of the things are increasingly present.
