Bizilabe Eguna, a great day to present the projects carried out during the course

Abanto-Zierbena, Bilbao, Elgoibar, Pamplona and Laudio-Bizilabe presented at Bizilabe Eguna the projects carried out during the 2025-2026 academic year. This end-of-year celebration has given young people the opportunity to show their work to families, friends and citizens, and to share the processes and results worked through science and technology.

STEAM-Hezkuntza (Elhuyar Zientzia)

In an event held in each town, the participants of Bizilabe have presented the projects developed during the course. They have addressed a range of issues, including environmental, energy, health and digital technology challenges. Visitors have learned from young people the questions, research processes, experiments and prototypes behind the projects. In addition, as a culmination of the program of the day, the guides of Bizilabe have offered a scientific show. In this way, young people and attendees have had the opportunity to live science in a fun and participatory way.

Bizilabe Eguna is the main showcase for the work done throughout the course, but it is also a time to strengthen the relationships between young people and end the course in a pleasant atmosphere. This year’s edition has once again shown the great interest of young people in the fields of science and technology. In Bizilabe, young people identify the challenges of their environment, raise questions and seek solutions to respond to them. Along this path, they develop not only scientific-technological knowledge, but also creativity, critical thinking, teamwork and communication skills.

since 2017, Bizilabe’s goal is to promote scientific and technological experiences among young people, which it addresses with the participation of the community. In this case with the respective municipalities.

In order to achieve this goal, in the program called “Be a researcher and inventor”, young people have been involved in scientific and technological activities under the guidance of women experts in these subjects. Through games and experiments, they have assimilated different contents and developed scientific and technological projects.

In addition, they have had many relational experiences throughout the course. They have received visits from professional researchers and visited companies in the area. In this way, they have been able to know the professionals who work in science and technology and the scientific and technological reality of the environment. Along the same lines, in the spring edition of the “Meeting of Peers” they have exchanged ideas with professionals. February 11 is also the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. In addition, they have had the opportunity to participate in the Elhuyar Zientzia Azoka. In it, the scientific and technological projects developed during the course will be presented to the public.
