Scientific dissemination entities, island institutions and research centers share knowledge at the annual Miniferia promoted by Economía from ACIISI with the collaboration of the Cabildo de Lanzarote.
A total of 1,400 students and their teachers pay tribute to the Periodic Table for its 150 years of history at the 2019 Science and Innovation Miniferia, which is held between this Thursday and Friday on the island and in which young people from Fuerteventura also participate.
The Cabildo de Lanzarote, through the Department of Education, shows different environmental projects that are being developed on the island, through the exhibition 'Lanzarote, Mars analogue', by Geoparque Mundial UNESCO Lanzarote; the workshop-campaign 'Agüita con el plástico' and the exhibition 'Humboldt' by the Biosphere Reserve of Lanzarote, as well as the Lanzarote Recicla workshops.
A "motivated and dedicated" student body
For two days, scientific dissemination entities, island institutions and research centers will share knowledge with the public at this flagship event of the Science and Innovation Weeks in the Canary Islands.
The Councilor for Education of the Cabildo de Lanzarote, Paula Corujo, visited each of the stands of the educational center together with the director of ACIISI, José Moya. The activities programmed at the Integrated Center for Professional Training (CIFP) Zonzamas of Arrecife are aimed at schoolchildren in the first and second years of ESO in Lanzarote in pre-arranged visits upon registration, as well as the general public, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Paula Corujo expressed her satisfaction with a student body that is "motivated and dedicated to this event." "I must extend my congratulations to all the students of the center for the design of their own activities in which they address various topics, such as domotized housing, renewable energies, laboratories, an orchard or an electric car," she said.
Thirteen educational centers in Lanzarote and 50 students from Fuerteventura
Likewise, the Councilor for Education pointed out that during these days about 1,350 students from 13 educational centers in Lanzarote will be concentrated in the Miniferia, in addition to another 50 students from Fuerteventura who will travel to the island of Lanzarote to visit the exhibitors and practice the science that is done in the Canary Islands in commemoration of chemistry.
Specifically, students from the CEIP Capellanía del Yagabo, the CEIP Guiguan and the IES Playa Honda schools in Fuerteventura are participating on Thursday the 21st. On Friday, November 22, students from the IES Vigan, CEIP Puerto del Rosario and CEO Puerto Cabras schools on the island of Majorera will attend.
