The science day at LEGTA Xavier Bernard school was held in partnership with Campus Agrinov.
Approximately 110 students from school attended the event. Some of them helped in the preparations, others took part in conferences and/or workshops and others conducted workshops. Other schools (mainly secondary schools) also had about 40 participants during some workshops and conferences.
Nearly 100 adults (mainly agricultural professionals) arrived at least for the welcome ceremony and some of them stayed for a few hours to take part in conferences and/or workshops.
Some conferences and workshops were held in cooperation with CampusAgrinov, focusing on soil, agriculture and climate change. There was also one conference dedicated to "Bee food related to agriculture and biodiversity", led by a former student from our school (graduates).
Furthermore, there were also workshops made and conducted by our students at the post-A level: "from seed to plate", and "how to reduce pesticides in today's agriculture, with a presentation of an application called "Appliphyt", as well as a workshop that the DNA school conducted on what kinds of organisms live in our soil under our feet... and how they are useful.
STEMs were everywhere during these 2 days (conferences and workshops). The students realized that agriculture and STEM can be a very important factor for jobs. They also became aware that thanks to the Erasmus Agency they can have a work placement abroad. They were interested in what other students had already done in the Erasmus+ Mathbuster project It was a time to talk about various aspects, exchange opinions, and students also had to work together and adapt to the Erasmus+ programme.
