Prize for scientific research on biodiversity


They received a plaque and a portable printer for the class as well as some interesting books on environmental issues.
It all started when we were invited to tutor about ten four-year and five-year students and got to know them by attending a presentation of their Field and Laboratory Research, conducted with the guidance of the Science, Technology, Physics and Maths teachers.

During the two-day trip to Rome, we boys and girls from class 4ACD, in our role as tutors, had an amazing experience, thanks to the exemplary behaviour of the youngsters. It was a pleasure to visit places of great historical and cultural importance together, discovering the unique beauty of our capital city. the majestic Colosseum, the scenic Trevi Fountain, the lively Via del Corso, the elegant Piazza del Popolo, the renowned Piazza di Spagna and the striking Pantheon enriched our journey, giving us a complete overview of Rome's history.

One of the highlights of the trip was attending the Conference on Climate, Geology and Life on Earth, based on the fifteenth point of the 2030 Agenda, where two brilliant girls from the first presented their project with passion and expertise.
It was a source of pride to observe the interest and enthusiasm with which all present welcomed the Vittoria's Research of the Firsts, a STEM Project that drew the attention of some of the researchers present working on this crucial topic for our future.
In conclusion, the trip to Rome was an unforgettable experience, characterised not only by the beauty of the places we visited, but also by our participation in an important conference on climate change as tutors of students younger than us who, thanks to the excellent relationship that was created, made this experience even more meaningful
