Why it’s important?

Lab Aberto 2024
“Lab Aberto fosters creativity and technological innovation in schools by establishing specialized laboratories. In these spaces, students build flying wings, autonomous cars and boats, and create objects using 3D printers with a variety of materials. Lab Aberto prepares students for the technological challenges of the future by engaging them in the artificial universe. However, Lab Aberto and its partner, Life Terra, believe that this admirable artificial world of the future will be even better when it is synergistically aligned with human nature and ecological sustainability.
On November 30th, the event began in the laboratory, with its coordinator, António Gonçalves, explaining the initiative and its objectives. Following this, 25 volunteers sowed cork oak acorns into small ceramic pots produced with a 3D printer. These seedlings will grow into saplings to be planted next year. Clara Araújo, representing ALTRI Florestal, and Renato Ferreira from the Municipality of Torres Vedras explained the entire process.
After the sowing activity, we moved to the field to plant strawberry trees. Lab Aberto aims to work increasingly at the intersection of forestry and technology. ALTRI, the Municipality of Torres Vedras, and Life Terra will continue to collaborate with Lab Aberto, and in a year, our cork oak saplings will be ready for planting.”
