CALL FOR ENTREPRENEURS
The Liceo Bicentenario, ACCDiS and the Hospital Santa Rosa de Molina, invite students who are studying between 5th grade of Basic Education and 4th grade of Secondary Education during 2023, with a maximum of 18 years old, to participate in the Science, Technology and Health Care Fair, through the submission of their research work, indicating the category to be worked on: (to) Basic Education (5th to 8th) (b) Secondary Education (1st to 4th), in the thematic axes (1) Research in science and health, (2) technology (3) Student social responsibility.
APPLICATION
1. SCHOOL RESEARCH TEAM
Definition: Corresponds to the team formed by the students who developed the scientific research or technological development work (see categories section), which is composed of at least one and a maximum of two students who are studying during 2023 between 5th year of elementary school and 4th year of high school.
Responsibilities:
- The work team must be made up of a maximum of 2 students and a teacher advisor from the educational establishment.
- The teacher may accompany or advise other research teams, but each team of students may present only one (1) work.
2. CATEGORIES OF PARTICIPATION
Teams interested in participating in the fair may present research projects belonging to the following categories: Research in science and health, technology, student social responsibility.
All work submitted must be original and unpublished, and must not have been carried out previously. In case of continuation of a school research project started in previous years, they may participate as long as they show only the most relevant results obtained in 2023.
2.1. Research in Natural Sciences and Health
Corresponds to research activities of an experimental or non-experimental nature, such as: observational, descriptive or analytical research, aimed at generating new knowledge in the different areas of science, whether biological, physical, chemical, earth, medical, health, agricultural, among others.
2.2. Engineering and Technology Development
This corresponds to the creation or optimization of products, materials, devices, processes, systems or services, aimed at satisfying a specific need and/or solving a detected problem. In the development of technological projects, existing knowledge and techniques are used, as well as practical skills and experiences.
2.3. Student Social Responsibility
Design and implementation of proposals aimed at improving health education, for example: leaflets, tik tok, stories, others.
ELIGIBILITY
The projects received will be admissible if they comply with the delivery of the following mandatory documentation:
- Single application form
- Video summary of the project (maximum 3 minutes long).
Proposals will be declared admissible, but will be excluded from the final award process if they:
- Are demonstrations of principles, postulates or theories. This type of work may be presented as a sample.
- Are a copy of existing works. Since this criterion is difficult to verify in some cases, the fulfillment of this criterion is left to the good faith and ethics of each participating research group. If plagiarism is detected, the project will be excluded from the competition.
In any of the categories, the work submitted must have been carried out during 2023. Research of longer date may participate, but the relevant results for the selection will be those obtained during the current year.
EVALUATION
The Evaluation Committee (EC), composed of six people from different areas, will be in charge of evaluating the works by means of an evaluation instrument. The EC will be in charge of evaluating the works during the visit to the stands for the oral presentation and the poster/poster of the stand, guided by the criteria shown below:
