The Ferias El Caleidoscopio de la Ciencia Mediterránea are educational events that promote innovation and creativity among students across all levels, from early childhood to upper secondary education. Organized by El Caleidoscopio, a start-up from the Miguel Hernández University, these fairs integrate initiatives such as “MOMO,” “La Feria Aérea” (The Aerial Fair), and “Programa tu Obra” (Program Your Play), which combine art, technology, and society to foster active learning and critical thinking among students.

In the most recent edition, held yesterday from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, a range of outstanding projects were presented. Additionally, the short film Hamelin 77 by Javier Ideami, winner of the first prize at the ROS Film Festival 2023, was screened. The film briefly explores the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence systems.

In terms of participation, around 120 primary and secondary students from the Valencian Community showcased their final educational innovation projects as part of the Mediterranean Researchers’ Night, Mednight 2025. These projects, developed within the framework of the initiatives “MOMO,” “La Feria Aérea,” and “Programa tu Obra,” covered a variety of topics such as geology, diversity, pollution, climate, health, and nutrition.
