Les élèves de seconde de la section européenne scientifique ont participé aux activités proposées par les acteurs de l’UFR Sciences et Techniques de l’Université de Rouen Normandie à Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray le vendredi 13 octobre 2023.
Les objectifs étaient de :
– Découvrir et approfondir les attendus des programmes du tronc commun et de la DNL scientifique.
– S’orienter avec différentes filières post-bac (université, écoles...) ; découverte de métiers liés à des thématiques scientifiques ; découverte de métiers rattachés à des laboratoires de recherche.
– Comprendre l’importance de l’anglais dans les sciences et dans le milieu professionnel, notamment celui de la recherche scientifique.

« I enjoyed Science Week 2023 at the University of Rouen, specifically the Science and Technical department, because I learned a lot of things. I was particularly interested in magnetic forces and saw various exhibitions, such as lighting energy. I also witnessed a walking robot, which was truly impressive and interesting. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to speak with engineering students who explained several fields to us. They emphasized the importance of speaking English in this field. »
« During the exhibition, I was particularly interested in ESIGELEC, a specialist in engineering. I gained a lot of useful information because I aspire to become a robotic engineer. I also enjoyed the ChatGPT conference ; it was very interesting. I would love to learn even more about AI. This event was organized by the University of Rouen – Sciences and Technical Department, and it was also quite enjoyable. »
« In the afternoon, we attended a demonstration of a scanning electron microscope. Thanks to this machine, we were able to see objects (up to x300,000 magnification) and various animals, such as a fly, hornet, butterfly, hair, ant, and even corals, up close. To view the objects, they had to be coated with gold since it serves as a good conductor. »
« There was a very kind person who showed us a lot of examples of static electricity. »
« I observed that speaking English in the field of science is crucial since it’s the language universally used. »
