Salesianos El Pilar school in Soto del Real organizes its Knowledge Fair, an event that showcases the students' work. The exhibition covers everything from natural sciences, with detailed herbaria, to modern technological applications. The goal is to combine traditional educational methods with current tools, presenting comprehensive learning. Visitors will be able to observe the results of student effort in a variety of disciplines.
3D Printing and Technology Applied to Learning 🖨️
Among the proposals, 3D printing plays a prominent role. Students present functional prototypes and models created from scratch, demonstrating the complete workflow: CAD design, slicing, and manufacturing. These technical projects show an understanding of additive manufacturing, not as an end in itself, but as a tool to materialize theoretical concepts in physics, geometry, or engineering.
From Grandma's Herbarium to the Drone that Waters Plants 🌱
It is a peculiar journey. On one table, you can see a classic herbarium, with pressed and hand-labeled plants. A few steps away, an autonomous robot roams with a humidity sensor. It seems that educational evolution happens in the space of a hallway. One wonders if in the next edition the herbarium will have a QR code linking to a timelapse of the plant growing, cultivated by the drone itself. The fusion is served.
