The research, titled Expired but effective?, was developed as part of the advanced research subject for second-year Bachillerato students. The study chemically and microbiologically evaluated expired Betadine, earning top recognition in the Bachillerato category of the exhibition.
This project is the result of a collaboration between two Andalusian centers that are part of the RED de Centros con Itinerario de Investigación FAB-IDi. Tutors from both institutes, one from Córdoba and another from Ronda (Málaga), along with the involved students, collected the award last Saturday.
“"They demonstrate year after year that centers truly unite to work and win awards for the ideas they come up with in the so-called 'Idea and Invention Factories' and entrepreneurship they have for the educational innovation project at our center."
The objective of all projects presented at the fair was to show how science and technology affect and transform the everyday environment, especially highlighting the connection between natural phenomena, technological applications, and their social impact. This educational experience positions students as protagonists of knowledge and innovation.
The fair, which saw the attendance of 2,300 students, aims to bring science, technology, and innovation closer to the general public, particularly younger audiences. This initiative is part of scientific dissemination activities designed to foster STEM vocations and critical thinking.
