In November, LABoral Centro de Arte hosted a new edition of its Art and Science Fair, bringing together secondary‑school students for a day of hands‑on experimentation at the intersection of creativity and research. The event, developed in collaboration with the collective GRIGRI and framed within the European project Studiotopia II, transformed the Gijón art center into a laboratory of ideas where young participants explored themes ranging from interspecies cooperation to the social impact of artificial intelligence.

Throughout the fair, students had the opportunity to apply to six different workshops led by artists, educators, and scientists, each designed to spark curiosity and encourage critical thinking. The activities invited participants to test materials, prototype concepts, and reflect on how artistic practice can help address contemporary environmental and technological challenges.

The gathering concluded with a collective assembly in which students shared their findings and discussed the role of creativity in shaping future solutions.
