Major Event (Highlighted Event)
On the occasion of Telecommunications Day, on May 17th, IMDEA Networks is holding an educational activity at its headquarters in which 4ºESO students will be able to enjoy a virtual escape room (designed by IMDEA Networks with other partners such as COIT, UPM, etc., within the framework of the PROMIN-Teleco Renta project) to learn concepts about these studies in a fun way.
In addition, students will have the opportunity to do a workshop to learn how Electrolab works, the first educational case of electronic prototyping to teach, create, and program. With this Arduino kit and through the Hello Blocks application, we will do a group practice in which we will design a sound traffic light designed to help blind people to cross the streets with autonomy and safety.

The Researchers at Schools initiative aims to strengthen the connection between research and education, by bringing researchers to schools and other pedagogical and educational centers to encourage interaction with pupils at all levels of primary and secondary education. It is funded by the European Union within the Horizon Europe Program, under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions with the grant agreement no. 101162110.
The activity will consist of a workshop followed by a visit to the IMDEA Networks laboratories. The visit will last approximately 3 hours.
