This year Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the main themes of a dozen activities. Firstly, with conferences to learn about the impact of AI in your day-to-day life, how to apply it to create self-portraits, to produce music or synthesize new fuels. Secondly, with workshops to learn how to generate your first AI, to use it in the field of filmmaking or in the field of industrial property rights. And thirdly, with demonstrations that will allow you to discover scientific research that uses AI to analyse aircraft contrails, develop a humanoid robot or apply it to robotics in assistive robotics.
UC3M also offers a wide range of informative courses and workshops on topics as diverse as visual literacy, learning to fly paper aeroplanes with engineering, thermal cameras, body sound design, the determining factors of the media agenda, historical fakes, the future of cardiology and surgical medicine, the magic of an aeroreactor, information manipulation, animated films, acoustic painting, rehabilitation with wearable technology, soft robots and the transmission of information with visible light.
There will also be talks on ’mathematics’ with cards and numbers, female law professors and collaborative robotics, as well as demonstrations and exhibitions on the aerodynamics of cars and planes, bioenergy, the wave nature of light and the hidden secrets of jets. Guided tours are also organised on unique pieces from the National Archaeological Museum that captivated artists, on advanced refrigeration for sustainable energy applications or to experience science through its characters.
Activities for Secondary Schools
Other activities are aimed specifically at secondary schools, baccalaureate and vocational training centres, which can be booked through t’his website. There will be fifteen workshops and demonstrations on topics such as animation and 3D modeling, biodiversity, cybercrime, women scientists in film, the construction of nest boxes, the coexistence of music and technology, audiovisual creation with AI, disinformation on social networks, micro-robotics, asphalt production, rover programming, the space sound of the music of the future and autonomous vehicles.UC3M is participating in this science outreach event organized by Fundación madri+d with the aim of actively involving citizens in science, technology and innovation, in addition to promoting scientific vocations among the youngest, eliminating gender barriers from the first cycles of education. In addition, UC3M’s activities have the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
