This initiative allows students to actively participate in understanding this global phenomenon. The project Our Neighborhood Under Scrutiny: New Urban Development Models, presented by the Renacimiento public institute in the capital, was the winner of the program's II National Summit.
At this gathering, which included teams from all over Spain and the participation of IES Pintor Antonio López from Tres Cantos, students defended their work, identifying local problems and proposing solutions for monitoring or mitigating them, as well as exchanging experiences with other educational centers.
“"This initiative is key to awakening vocations in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and enables participants to investigate real problems, apply the scientific method, develop technological skills, and understand that their knowledge can have an impact on society and the fight against climate change."
In addition to Climate Detectives, the regional Government collaborates with ESA on other innovative projects. These include CANSAT, where educational centers build a miniature satellite to launch into space for experiments; the Moon Camp Challenge, focused on designing a lunar colony; and Astro Pi, which involves using Raspberry computers to operate on the International Space Station.
