At ITJ Zona Esmeralda, the passion for science and learning transcends the classrooms. It all starts with SciFest, our internal science fair, where students from kindergarten to high school present their most creative and innovative projects. This event not only encourages critical thinking and scientific curiosity, but also selects the best projects that will represent our school at the State Science Fair.
From there, the winners have the opportunity to advance to the next level: the National Science Fair, a national event where the country's brightest minds present their ideas and contributions for the future. This year our students Natalia N, Sophia G. Elisa G and Camila M were selected to represent our school at the national level.
Ecological Innovation: Nature Defense
Our student Natalia N., who has developed a unique project titled “Nature Defense: Exploring Natural Ways to Repel Flies”.
This innovative fly repellent is designed specifically for horses, offering a natural, effective and environmentally friendly solution. Natalia was inspired by the need to protect these noble animals without resorting to harmful chemicals, contributing to animal welfare and sustainability.
Through extensive research and testing in real environments, Natalia managed to identify natural ingredients that, combined strategically, create a safe and long-lasting repellent effect. This project not only reflects his passion for science and the environment, but also his commitment to making a positive impact on the world.
Eco Energy: Sustainable Innovation
Our talented students Camila M., Elisa G. and Sophia G. developed “Eco energy”
This innovative work aims to generate energy sustainably using plants as the main source.
Through a creative and scientific approach, our students have investigated how to take advantage of the natural processes of plants to produce electrical energy. Their project combines biology, chemistry and technology, showing how nature can be a key ally in the search for solutions to the energy challenges of the future.
“Eco Energy” not only seeks to highlight the importance of clean energy, but also to inspire new forms of responsible coexistence with our environment. This project is an example of Camila, Elisa and Sophia's commitment to a greener and more sustainable future, as well as their ability to transform ideas into real solutions.
The Experience in Villahermosa: More than a Competition
In Villahermosa, our students not only compete, but also grow as people and professionals. The experience included exhibitions and a cultural exchange with young people from all over Mexico, an invaluable opportunity to broaden horizons.
Additionally, they had the honor of exploring the incredible landscapes and rich culture of Tabasco, making this trip a truly transformative experience.
A Special Thanks
None of this would have been possible without the support and guidance of our dedicated mentors. Professor Hugo Moreno and Miss Aelin Zerón have been key players in the development of these projects. With their experience and dedication, they have inspired our students to overcome challenges and achieve new goals.
The Pride of ITJ Emerald Zone
Each of these projects is a reflection of the effort, dedication and talent of our students. From SciFest to the National Science Fair, we have witnessed a journey full of learning and achievements.
We are sure that this is just the first of many successful experiences for Natalia, Camila, Elisa, Sophia and all our young scientists. Thank you for representing us with so much pride and passion!
