The Live Science Center of the Algarve, in Faro, celebrated World Sea Day, yesterday, 23 September, using digital transformation, promoting an animated film in Virtual Reality and Didactic Resources in the MILAGE Learning+ application.
“A Dive in the Ria Formosa” and “Pr'Oceano – Protecting the Ocean, why and how?” are two completely different digital products that the Centro Ciência Viva do Algarve team developed this last year as part of international or national projects.
The first consists of the creation of a video made of synthesis images in a 3D environment that represents a “Diving in the Ria Formosa” and which focuses on some current scientific and research topics such as seahorses, seagrass meadows and marine microplastics.
This is a new immersive experience in Virtual Reality available in the permanent exhibition of the Centro Ciência Viva do Algarve, which results from a collaboration with the Danish company Khora within the scope of the European project Digitraining.
The second corresponds to innovative digital resources developed for Vocational Education that will allow approaching about 36 topics and making known the Ocean made of water and rocks, which feeds us, protects us, unites us, an Ocean that we occupy, we put in danger and that we need to bequeath in good condition for a sustainable future.
Developed in collaboration with the University of Algarve and the Agrupamento de Escolas Tomás Cabreira, within the scope of the project “Pr'Oceano – Protecting the Ocean, why and how?” funded by the Algarve Regional Coordination and Development Commission (CCDR) through the CRESC Algarve 2020 program, some of these resources are already available in the MILAGE Learn+ app developed by the University of Algarve.
“Mar Digital” is a strategic bet by Centro Ciência Viva do Algarve to communicate science and increase digital literacy and sea literacy within the community, also allowing for greater social justice where access to culture and science takes place. in an inclusive, equitable and diverse way.
The permanent exhibition of the Centro Ciência Viva do Algarve has free admission on Sundays for residents of the municipalities of Faro, Albufeira and Loulé.
