Exhibition of solutions to climate change at CEST

As part of the Science for Citizenship course, students in the fourth year of the professional technical program developed projects whose objective was to design viable proposals to mitigate or adapt to problems arising from climate change, integrating scientific and technological knowledge.   On June 5, on World Environment Day, the students, together with teacher Geraldine Labraña, presented functional models representing sustainable solutions to various environmental problems.

Professor Nicole Rojas explained that this activity, which takes place during the school year, seeks to help students understand scientific phenomena and propose concrete solutions, applicable both locally and globally.

During the process, students researched the effects of climate change in areas such as water, energy, biodiversity and health; identified a specific problem that affects their community, the country or other regions of the world; designed and implemented a model that simulates an adaptation or mitigation solution; and evaluated the feasibility of their proposal, considering materials, costs and environmental and social impact.

This project promotes critical thinking, collaboration, environmental awareness and citizen responsibility, allowing students to apply science to the solution of current challenges related to climate change.
