Educational and scientific initiatives in Chile and AR

Overview

Educational and scientific initiatives continue to expand across Chile and Argentina, with a sustained focus on STEM, professional training, and student-led research.

In Chile, student innovation remains a key driver. In the Coquimbo region, students from Canela have advanced to the final stage of the 2026 School Antarctic Fair with research focused on tidal energy. In Aysén, students are presenting research at the Explora Regional Congress, covering topics from robotics to local ecology. In the Metropolitan Region, the Explora RM Congress facilitates dialogue between students and specialists. Additionally, the TINTA project in Atacama has initiated workshops for students with high academic talent using STEAM methodologies. Other activities include the University of Chile preparing for its 54th Student Olympic Games and the University of Atacama marking the 170th anniversary of the Copiapó School of Mines.

In Argentina, regional engagement and scientific innovation are prominent. In Catamarca, over 2,000 teachers attended a conference on inclusive schools led by María José Borsani, coinciding with celebrations of the province’s 205th anniversary of autonomy. In Chubut, the Provincial Fair of Education, Arts, Sciences, and Technology in Rawson features 47 projects, including contributions from CONICET doctoral fellows. Student achievements remain notable in Santiago del Estero through participation in national nanotechnology contests addressing extreme heat. Other ongoing activities include choral encounters for secondary students in Formosa and professional practice programs in Río Grande.
