The secretary general for Innovation at Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, Teresa Riesgo, along with the Chairwoman of Redeia, Beatriz Corredor, handed out the prizes of the 3rd edition of Redesteam and the 5th Entreredes Olympics in Madrid today.
 

All this was part of the framework of the Redeia Sustainability Conference at the Fundación Giner de los Ríos. During the ceremony, Teresa Riesgo encouraged the winners—students from compulsory secondary education (ESO) in Cantabria, Navarre, Malaga, Granada, Almería, Soria, Albacete, Guadalajara, and Murcia—to take an interest in science and technology. 'Spain will need 200,000 engineering professionals in the next ten years, and we need diversity,' she said, with a particular emphasis on female students, inviting them to expand their knowledge to enhance their creativity: 'By studying and with knowledge, we can change the world.'
 

Beatriz Corredor, in the meantime, spoke of the significant contribution they can make to the sustainability of the planet. 'You are our hope for achieving a sustainable and fair future. And it all starts with your dreams and aspirations. You should not set limits on yourselves; everything you imagine can become a reality if pursued with determination and effort.'

The prize-giving ceremony also featured mathematician and science communicator Clara Grima, who delivered an inspirational talk to convey her love for mathematics to the students: 'It is fascinating and enjoyable, like playing Cluedo. A work of art, like a poem.'

Redesteam is an initiative promoted by Redeia under the ‘STEAM Alliance for Female Talent: Girls in Science,' which is supported by the Spanish government. Through this competition, Redeia aims to encourage the study of STEAM careers among female students in the 3rd and 4th years of secondary education or equivalent vocational training. As part of their prize, in Madrid yesterday and today the six winning teams of this year participated in immersive workshops designed to stimulate STEAM curiosity, enhance critical thinking, and develop technological and programming skills. 

In the case of the Entreredes Olympics, Redeia, and more specifically Red Eléctrica, aim to teach younger generations about the functioning of the Spanish electrical system in an enjoyable and interactive manner. At the same time, it also helps them revise the subjects they study in class throughout the year, such as geography, history, physics, and literature. The four winning teams visited the Museum of Natural Sciences.
