TecDay a Kanti Baden: 1200 giovani scoprono la tecnologia in prima persona

Programmare robot, produrre musica da rifiuti elettronici o immergersi nelle profondità marine con un biologo marino: Ieri, mercoledì, la scuola cantonale di Baden si è trasformata in un laboratorio di scoperta per circa 1.200 giovani. In occasione dello STEM Day, organizzato in collaborazione con il TecDay dell'Accademia svizzera delle scienze ingegneristiche SATW, gli alunni hanno sperimentato la tecnologia e la scienza in modo pratico, creativo e coinvolgente. Al posto dei libri di testo e dell'insegnamento frontale, il programma prevedeva oltre 60 workshop, tre conferenze stimolanti e incontri con esperti del mondo tecnologico e della ricerca svizzero.
