The Claret Larraona, San Cernín and Monjardin schools, in Pamplona, and the Luis Amigó, in Mutilva, won the regional final of the Entreredes Olympics today, and will represent the Autonomous Community of Navarre in the national final. Today’s session, played in virtual format, is the culmination of an edition in which 1,559 pupils from Navarre have participated.

The first year Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) category was won by the team comprising  Hugo San Juan Fernández, Jiefan Xu, Claudia Gaztelu Fernández and Marc Buxó Zabalza, students at the Colegio Claret Larraona. The second year ESO category was won by a team made up of Ana Jiménez Ezcurra, Yichen Guo, Leyre Moretnin Campión and Xin Yi Cai Bao, from the Colegio San Cernín.

The third-year Secondary category was won by the team at the Colegio Luis Amigó, by pupils Lucía Fernández Landaluce, César Lafraya Falguera, Aimar Otero Torres and Anne Esparza Flórez. The last team to qualify, in the fourth year ESO category, consisted of Nicolás Rezola Mendoza, Irena Ruiz Andueza, Julen Josue Santa Cruz Gutiérrez and Ainhoa Vaz Belzunegui, pupils at the Colegio Liceo Monjardin.

At the Entreredes Olympics, pupils form teams to play Entreredes, the video game created by Red Eléctrica (the company responsible for transmitting and operating the electrical system in Spain) which teaches children all about the workings of the Spanish electricity system in a fun and interactive way. 

To advance and take a virtual tour of the country through different lines and substations of the electricity transmission grid, players must answer questions posed on topics covered throughout the course, specifically focusing on what they have learned about energy, ecological transition, and the Spanish electricity system. 

The 16 winners from Navarre will battle it out in the national final against the rest of the autonomous communities as they show off who has learned the most about the electricity sector and the subjects they have studied in class: Geography and History, Physics and Chemistry/Biology, Mathematics, Language and Literature, and Leisure and Culture. 

Centres from the Autonomous Community of Navarre have been taking part in the Entreredes Olympics since 2019.
