Through the Science and Technology Dissemination and Dissemination team of the Vice-Rector for Research and Graduate Studies, students from the Cervantes and Horizontes schools were able to see up close how the different units of the ULS work.

Science Week was lived to the full at the University of La Serena and offered various activities for the community in general, thus linking visitors with the science that is done at the university. Part of this were the guided tours organized by the Science and Technology Dissemination and Dissemination team of the Vice-Rector for Research and Graduate Studies, which made it possible to show the progress that it has made throughout its years.

campus 2Campus Digital also collaborated in these visits and organized a tour of its facilities, where visitors from the Cervantes and Horizontes schools were able to learn about all the processes that are carried out. They were shown step by step the implementation of the current Univrso initiative

Those attending this activity were able to live an experience prepared for them and, apart from getting to know the physical location of Campus Digital, they also interacted with the team and learned about the work of each area within the unit.

Valentina Concha is in her second year at the Cervantes School and described her experience: “the tour was very well distributed, super well organized and this was the surprise part, because I like astronomy so much. Opening the University to people allows us to realize what it is and see what our future is going to be”.

The mathematics teacher at the Horizontes school, Edith Alzamora, also commented that this visit “was very nice, the students got to know new things, some that many of them had not seen, for example, virtual reality, and they were very excited about it. We appreciate that the University is receiving the schools, it is a way of opening the University to others”

It is expected in the future to replicate this type of initiative that opens the doors of the University to the community in general and shows that the institution is at the service of all, in addition to attracting young people to science in an entertaining way.
