Liceo Artistico of Cortina (BL), which was awarded the prize for the category “Design object – high schools”, with the project “Lamp of Life (Lampada della vita)“, in
which “history” and the use of various materials are intertwined, such as Swiss stone pine wood from Vaia, donated by the Regole di Cortina, old fir beam, recovered from an old barn,
expired glass-resin (epoxy resin), ammunition found on “Monte Piana” and dating back to World War II, and recycled LED;
Middle School “S. RICCI” of Belluno, which was awarded the prize for the category “Usable object – middle schools”, with the project “The story chair (La sedia delle
storie)“, designed and built to be used at school, during book reading time. Inside there is a lamp and on the back there is a blackboard and a polystyrene panel to note down the titles
of the books read and our reflections after reading. It has four wheels so it can be easily moved;
Primary school “Vittorino da Feltre” (BL), which was awarded the prize for the category “Usable object – primary schools”, with the project “Ecocalendar
(Ecocalendario)“, a perpetual calendar made by the children of the first class, using a discarded stick, inner rolls of kitchen paper, foil and aluminium foil, the inner part of
biscuit and cracker wrappers and ribbon from the Easter dove package;
Istituto Comprensivo “F. Berton” of Pedavena (BL), which was awarded the prize for the category “Design object – primary schools”, with the project “Recycle city“, a miniature
sustainable city that, besides being a design object that can be used to beautify the school, can also be a track for cars, a landscape to be used to learn how to orient oneself, to know
the cardinal points, but also to learn road education as pedestrians;
Primary school “Carmela Ronchi” in Vallada Agordina (BL), which was awarded the prize for the category “Innovative object – primary schools”, with its “Tree-collecting crane (Gru
raccogli alberi)” project, a prototype that exploits magnetism and demonstrates how magnets can serve as another way of collecting fallen plants in the forest that can perhaps be
reused as biomass to produce energy. The crane is equipped with a special mechanical arm that has a magnet at its end that hooks the trunk onto which another magnet has in turn been fixed.
With this device, the plant can be easily loaded onto the crane platform and transported elsewhere.
