This initiative, which reflects the Institute\u2019s commitment to Southern Catalonia, aims to bring the biomedical research developed by its researchers closer to young students through an innovative and interactive format.<\/p>\n<p>The escape rooms have been designed as a teaching tool to explain the work carried out by IRB CatSud at the institutions where it is present \u2014 Hospital Universitari Joan XXIII in Tarragona, Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus, Hospital Universitari de Tortosa Verge de la Cinta, Hospital Universitari Institut Pere Mata in Reus, and Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Through this activity, students also learn about the role of researchers and how health research has a direct impact on people\u2019s lives. By taking part in the game, students become the protagonists of a mission that encourages teamwork, problem-solving and following clues related to how laboratories work and to current scientific challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal has been adapted to the school context and is offered to nearly fifteen educational centres in Reus and Tarragona as a scientific outreach activity that promotes experiential learning. Initially, it was mainly aimed at students in the first year of the scientific baccalaureate, but it has also been opened to Year 10 students (4th year of compulsory secondary education) at the request of the participating schools. This format makes it possible to explain scientific concepts, which are often complex, in an accessible way, while sparking interest in science and fostering critical thinking, cooperation and curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>The activity is supported by the Agency for the Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR) through a funding programme to promote scientific outreach in Catalan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Institute showcases its laboratory work through a participatory and playful activity which, as part of its commitment to the local area, will be carried out in almost fifteen schools in Reus and Tarragona The biomedical research carried out at Southern Catalonia Biomedical Research Institute &#8211; IRBCatSud (formerly IISPV) is reaching classrooms through a series [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":113112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1883,1026,1831],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualitat-en","category-noticies-iispv-en","category-press-releases"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iispv.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
