Abstract
MicroMundo es un proyecto de Ciencia Ciudadana basado en aprendizaje activo, en el que estudiantes de ESO y Bachillerato, objeto del servicio, coordinados por equipos de estudiantes universitarios, objeto del aprendizaje, desarrollan un proyecto de investigación real. El objetivo de la investigación es el aislamiento, a partir de microorganismos de muestras de suelo, de nuevas actividades antibióticas. Los objetivos de servicio son acercar cultura científica a la sociedad en Salud Global, con foco en el problema de la resistencia a antibióticos, actuando sobre la población más joven,al tiempo que se crean en ellos vocaciones STEM y curiosidad por la I+D en Biomedicina. Durante el curso 2019-20, 150 nuevos alumnos se han incorporado al proyecto interfacultativo en la UCM, trabajando en 26 centros educativos de la Comunidad de Madrid. El confinamiento por la situación pandémica ha reforzado el interés del proyecto, pero ha obligado a pasar el entorno on-line algunas de las actuaciones previstas. No obstante, los objetivos del proyecto se han alcanzado.
MicroMundo is a Citizen Science project based on active learning. Secondary and High School students, as the objects of service in a service-learning strategy, develop a real research project, coordinated by University students, the objects of learning. The goal of their research is the isolation of microorganisms from soil samples showing new antibiotic activities. The objectives of service are to bring scientific culture on Global Health, focused on antibiotic resistance awareness, to Society by acting on its youngest members. At the same time we create vocations on STEM and I+D in Biomedicine. During the 2019-20 course, 150 new students joined this interfacultative project, working in 26 Schools in Madrid. The pandemic situation forced to move some of the planned activities to the virtual environment. However, the objectives were largely accomplished.
