The European Researchers’ Night once again lit up the South Campus of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), drawing more than 60 high school students eager to immerse themselves in the world of science and technology. This year, the event featured an engaging workshop led by students from Calderón de la Barca High School, who built an innovative energy sensor using Arduino. This device allows users to measure both the light levels and temperature within a room. The complete construction process, along with the required documentation for replication in other educational institutions, is available on YouTube, making it a resourceful tool for schools interested in STEM activities.

The event was further enriched by a delegation of students from the Energy Club (SEK) at the University of Ljubljana. These students earned their place at the UPM gathering by winning a prestigious Hackathon held at their university, themed “The Future of Energy.” Their participation brought an international flair to the night, fostering cross-border discussions on energy innovation and sustainable practices.

Attendees had the unique opportunity to share insights, learn from peers, and engage with the cutting-edge ideas driving the future of energy and technology. The European Researchers’ Night at UPM continues to be a beacon of inspiration, fueling curiosity and collaboration among young researchers and future leaders in science.
