Polymers and sensors: Did you know that your body is full of biosensors that allow you to interact with your environment?

Ponents: EEBE

Descripció

Polymers and sensors will be the topics of discussion in this meeting. 

Three sections will make up the task at hand. 

In the first section, you will participate in an interactive session about sensors and polymers, covering everything from atoms and molecules to monomers and polymers, with examples drawn from real life and sensors that have practical uses. Polymers as a sensor will be introduced towards the end of the session. 

In the second section, students will participate in an exercise by splitting into two groups. A pressure sensor made of hydrogels will be the focus of the first set of studies. Students in the second group will be completing a biosensor-themed scavenger hunt that requires them to study various posters in order to find the answers. 

A final speech will be given and the scavenger hunt winners will be announced at the end of the session.

NOTE: This activity will be held in English.
