In 2024, in addition to the Bilbao fair, fairs will also be held in Navarre, Gipuzkoa and Lapurdi. Navarre will be in Pamplona, Gipuzkoa in Usurbil and Lapurdi in Kanbo and Ziburu.

Elhuyar Zientzia Azoka is an initiative of scientific projects developed by young people between 12 and 18 years of age that allows the in-house living of scientific research and technological development, and in which young people from ESO and Bachillerato from all educational centers in the Basque Country can participate. Elhuyar Zientzia Azoka is also a project to promote the use of Euskera.

Elhuyar has brought together a large group of researchers from the Basque Science and Technology Network to help young people and have referents close to the professional world STEM, as youth advisors. In fact, more than 200 researchers, about 56 per cent of women, are appointed as youth advisers each year and the deadline remains open.

Students will work as a team on topics they decide to ask, research, design, build, share and live new experiences. They will meet real professionals, share their adventures and experiences with them and help them develop their projects.

The result of the work will be a STEAM project in Basque, which will be known in May in the first person at the central event of the Elhuyar Zientzia Azoka which will take place from 22 to 25 September at the Arenal Pier of Bilbao.
