AIR Institute welcomed 35 Year 3 pupils from Sagrado Corazón School (Jesuitinas) to its Salamanca facilities this week.
The visit was organised through AIR Institute’s collaboration with its partner, the Castilla y León Capital Goods Cluster (CBECyL), within the framework of “STEM Explorers CyL”, a Fundación ASTI initiative designed to spark children’s interest in STEM subjects: science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Researchers from AIR Institute’s different teams introduced the young visitors to the work carried out at a technology centre and showed them how STEM subjects can be applied in everyday life. The team from the International Video Games and Animation Hub, “El Jap!”, then drew the pupils into an interactive session on digital animation and well-known characters from films, television series and video games. To round off the morning, the Jesuitinas pupils visited the IoT workshop, where they discovered the tools AIR Institute uses every day in its electronic projects.
In the afternoon, representatives from AIR Institute and CBECyL visited the school to give families a talk on what technology centres and clusters are, and the kind of work they do.
AIR Institute would like to thank Sagrado Corazón School in Salamanca for its visit, interest and warm welcome, and CBECyL for its fruitful collaboration.
