The national winners of the Entreredes Olympics have been announced: Antonio Machado High School from Soria won the category of the 1st year of ESO; Giovanni Antonio Farina School from Azuqueca de Henares (Guadalajara) won the category of the 2nd year of ESO; Bodas de Camacho High School from Albacete won the category of the 3rd year of ESO; and Jiménez de la Espada High School from Murcia won the category of the 4th year of ESO.

Secondary school students from 11 communities and the city of Ceuta participated in a virtual session today to demonstrate their mastery of the course material covered throughout the year in topics such as geography, physics, mathematics, and literature, among others. There will be a focus on what they have learnt about energy, ecological transition, and the Spanish electricity system.

The competition involved teams playing a video game called entreREDes, created by Red Eléctrica, the company responsible for the transmission and operation of electricity systems in Spain. The aim of this game is to teach younger generations how the Spanish electricity system works and to review their school knowledge in a fun and interactive way. David Calle, an engineer, professor, YouTuber, TVE collaborator, and founder of the online academy Unicoos, hosted the final.

Beatriz Corredor, Chairwoman of Redeia, the parent company of Red Eléctrica, congratulated the winners and encouraged them to pursue scientific and technological studies. ‘If you enjoy science, I urge you to consider studying a STEAM program, especially you girls, as there are fewer women in these fields. By choosing science and technology careers, you can become the professionals who can create a fairer, more sustainable, and more inclusive future.’
