It offers an opportunity to explore humanity’s journey to live sustainably and long-lastingly\, first in orbit and then on the lunar surface\, aiming one day to reach Mars. This journey\, through the use of innovative technologies that seek to make space a safe habitat\, with careful attention to astronauts’ needs and comfort\, allows them to face and overcome increasingly challenging challenges\, bringing to reality scenarios that were only a dream until recently. Space technologies have also opened up possibilities for a more sustainable future on our planet\, with positive implications for Latin American countries as well.

Se propone realizar a lo largo del día una jornada donde exploraremos los fundamentos de la exploración lunar y el viaje espacial. Con esta base\, el equipo organizador\, compuesto por estudiantes universitarios en áreas de ingeniería y física\, guiarán a los niños para la realización de un cortometraje con técnica Stop-Motion sobre los próximos viajes a la Luna. Ellos mismos serán partícipes en la elaboración\, creación y ejecución de los elementos de escenografía\, guion\, historia y grabación. Finalmente\, el equipo organizador se encargará de la parte de edición y creación del producto final. El cortometraje tiene como fin ser proyectado de la mano con la fundación en otros escenarios culturales y divulgado en medios digitales.\n\nTogether with AESS UN of IEEE at the National University of Colombia\, an activity is proposed in collaboration with the Tierra Nueva Foundation\, which works with children and adolescents in vulnerable conditions. The plan is to hold a day-long session exploring the fundamentals of lunar exploration and space travel. Based on this\, the organizing team—made up of university students in engineering and physics—will guide the children in creating a stop-motion short film about the upcoming missions to the Moon. They themselves will participate in the development\, creation\, and execution of the scenery\, script\, story\, and filming. Finally\, the organizing team will be responsible for editing and producing the final product. The short film is intended to be showcased together with the foundation in other cultural venues and shared through digital media.

La conferencia se centra en una exposición interactiva con modelos modulares de cohetes impresos en 3D\, que permitirán comprender cada fase de las misiones y la función de cada componente del vehículo. \n\nSe realizará un recorrido por el perfil de las misiones Artemisa 2 y 3\, planeadas para 2026 y 2027 respectivamente\, así como una introducción a las bases del viaje espacial\, la exploración lunar y los acontecimientos de los próximos cuatro años. Finalmente\, se explorará el Polo Sur Lunar y por qué representa un gran interés para diferentes naciones alrededor del mundo.
