The project presented by the center was 'Geocity', and it has won the award together with the Lycée Militaire d'Autun, in France, in the "General and Technological Secondary" category.
This project, whose award they will receive this Monday in France, has involved a mathematical twinning between the cities of Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote, and the city of Autun, in France.
The Hippocreme Foundation organizes, every year, in collaboration with the Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sports of France, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and the support of the Representation of France to the European Commission, these awards in the field of European citizenship.
In this academic year 2020/20021, given the situation due to the pandemic, the jury has taken into consideration innovative virtual projects. The students of IES Las Maretas have applied mathematics to the development of their winning project.
