Successful participation of the Institute in the 56th Regional Science Exhibition

The school was opened to the educational community to share the work carried out in the first phase of the year. The secondary level worked on projects on the past, present and future of Villa Allende, linking these aspects to some of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the World Health Organization for 2030.

The Milenio Villa Allende Institute was part of the 56th Science, Technology, Arts and Innovation Fair, a regional educational proposal organized by the Government of Cordoba. In this edition, more than 600,000 students from 3,753 educational institutions presented a total of 17,433 projects, highlighting the focus on improving learning and teaching.

High School Principal Marisa Alasia highlighted the engaging and caring atmosphere of the day, as teachers and students showcased and explained the processes behind their productions. Families, a key component of the exhibition, not only actively participated in the games and listened to the students’ explanations, but also provided valuable feedback and expanded the vision of the work being done at the school.

The projects presented in the exhibition were closely linked to the identity and culture of the Sierra Chicas. First and second year students explored the myths, legends and customs of our ancestors. Third and fourth year students focused on the present of Villa Allende, addressing its cultural and historical value as well as the needs of solidarity to improve living conditions. Finally, fifth and sixth grade students looked to the future through environmentally friendly projects and literary artistic productions of various kinds.

All levels are displayed in stands arranged in different school spaces.

The work developed in the exhibition was encoded in the structure of a tree: past (roots), present (trunk), and future (branches and leaves), linking these aspects to some of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the World Health Organization for 2030. The interdisciplinary interconnection between the different curricular spaces allowed for enhanced learning, highlighting the STEAM model (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) as an innovative concept that places students in a pioneering, active and collaborative role.

Alasia also highlighted the commitment and interest that comes from working as a team, and the importance of learning to communicate ideas and face challenges. For future editions, we hope to continue to promote a change in awareness about caring for the environment and responsibilities as temporary inhabitants of the planet, with the aim of improving the quality of life and achieving greater overall well-being.
