According to a press release, the first training day of the Pedagogical Reference Center (CRP) for Astronomy was attended by two outstanding young people from Apurea at the last National Astronomy Olympics. During the meeting, the speakers shared their experiences and knowledge in the area with the student community, motivating them to join the CRP, awaken their interest in studying the cosmos and prepare for the country's next academic competitions.

In addition, the specialized FUNACITE Apure team, in coordination with the teaching staff of the campus, developed the first practical class of the CRP in Robotics. During this session, students linked theoretical concepts with direct experimentation through the manipulation of computer components, notions of basic electronics and circuit assembly for the development of automation.
