Presentation
Advanced Technology for Science Education
It was designed and executed by ORT-Chile, aiming to improve the level of Scientific Education
in public Secondary Schools
The Project
Coca-Cola Foundation, using the Educational National Donations Law
Where does the financial support come from?
Aiming to finance and support innovation Educational Projects, culture and environmental protection composed by Coca-Cola International
and National Bottlers.
Coca Cola of Chile Foundation
Providing the schools with:
-Infrastructure
-Equipment
-Training
-Technical Assistance
How does TAVEC fulfill its goals?
Infrastructure
A relative small amount of money that
covers for painting, furniture, light, water and gas installations and security, in pre-existing class rooms.
•8 workstations with A-D Interfaces & control software
•Set of sensors and probes
•Complementary equipment
•Audiovisual equipment
•Portable Workstation for Environmental Experiments
•Educational Software
Students Science Laboratory
The Workstation
Composed by:
PC + A/D Interface + Acquisition software + Sensors
The Audiovisual Equipment
Composed by:
TV + VGA/Video Interface + Video Camera
The Acquisition Software
Specially designed for students to acquire data in real time from an experiment, that permits various kinds of data processing, and its visualization by means of graphics.
