The Descubre Foundation, with the collaboration of Sevilla TechPark, has organized four 'Science Cafés' events aimed at high school students from IES Santa Ana in Seville. These events, part of World Space Week, aim to spark scientific vocations and bring research closer to young people.
Researchers from the University of Seville and Pablo de Olavide shared their experiences in areas such as aerospace engineering, the design of aircraft with clean technologies, the development of satellites like UCAnFly, and space debris management. Students also discussed astronomical phenomena like eclipses, noting that the next total solar eclipse visible in Andalusia will be on August 2, 2027.
The conversation, held in a relaxed atmosphere during breakfast, allowed experts to detail their daily work, life trajectories, and answer students' questions. Topics such as space sustainability and the design of robots for fire detection or Martian exploration were also covered.
World Space Week, promoted by the United Nations, celebrates the contributions of space science and technology. This year's theme focuses on the relationship between Space and climate change. In Seville, the Space Forum promotes the city's role as a hub in the space sector.
