From March 13th to 15th, the sixth edition of the “Festival of Scientific Culture” took place at the “Caminiti Trimarchi” high school in Giardini Naxos (ME). This year the theme of the Festival was “De Rerum Natura”.
Themes relating to environmental education, sustainable development, renewable and clean energy without forgetting gender equality in the scientific field have been discussed during the festival.
In particular the High School “Caminiti Trimarchi”, mindful of the participation of MEDNIGHT researchers to the last edition, has invited us to give a new contribution with the interactive scientific laboratories, experiments and demonstrations and the staging of exhibitions relating to the theme of the Festival.
Furthermore, the school asked to MEDNIGHT researchers to summarize the experience of the latest MEDNIGHT edition of 29th September 2023 and the mission of this scientific dissemination initiative promoted by the University of Messina.
A short ceremony was held in the Aula Magna of the High School, during which MEDNIGHT researchers were awarded with the “Scientific Culture Award” that the high school awards annually to individuals or entities that stand out in the development and promotion of scientific culture.
After the ceremony, the MEDNIGHT researchers has offered to the students some laboratories, experiments and exhibitions
