THREE COMPONENTS
A virtual environment
|
Prototypes
|
A sailboat
|
|
Elements of the sailboat used in practical work session.
Students will build and possibly improve an instrument for microplastics sampling. |
A real sailboat that turns into a classroom for practical work. The students will use the schooner "Tirant Primer" of the Generalitat Valenciana
|
THREE FUNCTIONS
Applicable to the sailboat environment (the sea and its biota): The aim is to develop a strong scientific background to launch citizen science projects with students. The focus now is on the pollution of the seas by microplastics.
|
Applicable to the sailboat and its various elements: the pulleys, the electrical assembly, the sensors such as the barometer and also the scientific instruments embedded: hydrophones, hydrometer etc.
In our first project students have built a microplastic sampling instrument: the manta net. |
Applicable to the 'occupants' of the sailboat: develops transversal skills such as team spirit, leadership, communication, etc. Students in the social education sector develop a mobility project with students with specific needs in the frame of citizen science campaign that targets the sampling of microplastics at sea on board a sailboat
