#Nautical Experiments: May Calendar

2020/05/04 Elhuyar Zientzia

• Elhuyarren berriak

Elhuyar has developed the May calendar on the Bizilabe website and has proposed four weeks of scientific and technological challenges. The challenges will sow imagination and neurons; they will encrypt and decrypt “secret messages”, create holograms, extract paintings on vegetables, build planes without engines, make proposals to observe curiosities of the world or dining rooms for birds, identify birds or see them in real time in nature, among other things. All of them can be carried out using the resources at home and from home.

These are actions aimed at young people between 10 and 15 years in general, but with the aim of promoting science and technology activities in the family, it is intended to invite parents to face challenges with younger children.

Talks with researchers to inspire young people

A special plan for Fridays has been proposed in the May calendar. In fact, the appointment will be with a researcher who works in the world of science and technology in real life, to know closely the researcher himself and his activity and, through the knowledge of professionals, reinforce the interest of young people for science and technology. In this way, every week, Elhuyar will explore the secrets of a Basque researcher, get to know his current projects, get to know their lives more closely, ask them also about the way to get to do what is being done right now and, above all, want to know the most interesting anecdotes lived. They are interviews that can be inspiring for young people, with the aim of transmitting their passion and knowledge. The researchers we will interview in May are:

• Maitane Alonso, a young Sodupean who travels the world with her invention of being a participant in the Monastery Science Fair, we want to first meet and interview the life of the young medical student. His passion is research and we will ask him for advice on the situation we live now.
• Naima El Bani Altuna.Next we will talk to the Bilbao geologist who investigates climate change in recent years in the Arctic, who is analyzing climate change in recent years and how it affects us today. To see what he tells us.
• Itziar Garate López.We go further and we will also be with the astrophysicist zarauztarra who investigates the atmospheres of other planets.
• Lorea Argarate.The telecommunications engineer, the musician and the passionate Big Data Bilbao, how much data do we unintentionally give when using the mobile phone? We will also ask for recommendations.

A phrase to represent and collect the planes: the passion for what they do.

Experience and share!We invite you to spread on social networks the scientific and technological challenges you have made, with the hashtag #Experimentoak of #Nicolás.
