These are MOMO, The Aerial Fair and Program your work. Three initiatives conceived and directed by El Caleidoscopio, one of the 13 partners that form the Mednight 2021 Consortium. Thus, on the morning of June 17, the live event of the secondary schools will be held, while on Friday, June 18, it will be the turn for primary schools.

The event can be followed live on the Mednight 2021 website and will be hosted and directed by the stand-up comedian Raquel Sastre, screenwriter of TV programs such as Órbita Laika and El Hormiguero.

Both days, students will present their final project proposals to the other schools. At the Aerial Fair, they will show the drones for social and environmental purposes that they have built themselves; the short films they have made in Stop Motion using digital electronics and 3D printing from MOMO or the short films from Program your work, in which one of the protagonists is a humanoid robot that they have previously learned to program, will be screened.

This academic year all the projects have the collaboration of the Mednight 2021; the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology FECYT; the Ministry of Science and Innovation; the University of Valencia; the Miguel Hernández University of Elche; the Teacher Training Service of the Ministry of Education, CEFIRE; the Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit of the University of Valencia; MUDIC (Didactic and Interactive Museum of Sciences of the Vega Baja del Segura) and with the collaboration of different City Councils of Valencia and Alicante: Albaida; Algemesí; Crevillente; Requena; Cheste; Alfara del Patriarca; Palmera; El Verger; Pilar de la Horadada; Buñol, Dolores and El Poble Nou de Benitatxell.
