With the SOL-préndete project, we want to bring students in Primary Education, Compulsory Secondary Education and High School closer to CSP and to the facilities and research being carried out at the Plataforma Solar de Almería.
Our objectives are:
- To bring research closer to pre-university students. Young researchers and laboratory technicians from the Plataforma Solar de Almería visit high schools and explain, through talks or workshops, their research work related to CSP, photochemistry and applications.
- Bringing science closer to vulnerable groups. We facilitate visits to the PSA, free of charge, to those centers located in neighborhoods identified with a high level of vulnerability.
- Enrich education and outreach with digital tools.
What do we do?
- For primary school students we have designed workshops focused on understanding solar energy and its applications, which we teach in schools and which combine virtual reality (VR) activities with practical and fun activities.
- For ESO and Bachillerato students, we participate with teachers in the development of a project focused on the students themselves being responsible for disseminating to society research lines or projects that are currently being developed in the PSA, through the creation of very short videos.
- We participated in the design of augmented reality (AR) tools for use in the visits that schools make to the PSA.
