Thousands of students from schools and institutes throughout the region have responded in the last week to hundreds of thousands of questions on various subjects taught in ESO and Baccalaureate in the educational innovation program 'Retame and Aprendo' of the UPCT and Counseling of Education.
"Today, in a world where children dedicate, according to UNICEF, more than two hours a day to be in front of an electronic device, the possibility of playing learning is an incentive to study," says the rector of the Polytechnic of Cartagena, Alejandro Díaz.
In the absence of this midnight concludes the first phase of the contest, in which students compete with their own schoolmates, since last Tuesday they have played more than 29,000 games and have answered more than 198,000 questions.
The activity was especially intense during the first three days of competition, in which more than 166,000 questions were answered.
The majority of players exhausted their games in those first days.
The centers in which more challenges have been launched in the first phase of the second edition of this contest have been the San Pedro Apostle of San Pedro del Pinatar, the Ramón Arcas de Lorca and the IES Mediterráneo de Cartagena.
"When they bite, they do not stop playing responding to the challenges thrown at them by other students at the center," explains teacher Maria del Carmen Blaya, from IES Los Molinos, where they have developed their own Rétame and Aprendo for the first cycle of ESO.
The two best students of each institute will pass to the second phase of the contest, in which the classified will compete telematically with each other for a position in the Grand Final, which will be held in person at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena.
