The University of Valencia Science Park Foundation (FPCUV) has announced this Tuesday the two winning videos of the scientific video contest, Media100cia. It is an initiative framed in the XVI edition of Expociència, in which both university and non-university students have been invited to create videos of a maximum of 100 seconds long and always with science as the main narrative justification. The contest aims to encourage young people to start at an early age in the dissemination of science through current audiovisual formats.
The call has two modalities, university and non-university. In the first one, the winner was the proposal Hackeando...¡Moho! by Carolina Ropero, from the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technologies (CSIC), and in the second one, the video La Refracción de la Luz, elaborated by Mónica Portal, student of IES Salvador Gadea, was awarded.
The contest is intended to encourage young people to get started at an early age in the popularization of science
The jury, when issuing the decision, has valued aspects such as originality, creativity, audiovisual production, narrative resources and informative content. In all these points the two winning videos have excelled over the other proposals, which will receive on Saturday May 11, during the celebration of Expociència, each of them a prize valued at 250 euros. The delivery will be at 12:30 pm in the area of Institutes. All videos participating in the contest will receive a diploma.
Light and synthetic biology, protagonists
This year, in the university category, synthetic biology serves to disseminate the role of fungi in more sustainable developments from the study and application of genetics.
In the non-university category, the phenomenon of light refraction is explained through different experiences, such as the distorted image of a pencil submerged in water.
