Río Negro Distributes Interactive Energy Models to Schools

Río Negro is distributing 62 interactive V4LE energy models to primary and secondary schools across seven localities, providing students with hands-on tools to study natural and social sciences through the lens of petroleum and gas production. The initiative, driven by an agreement between Governor Alberto Weretilneck and Fundación YPF, supplies classrooms with kits that demonstrate energy exploration, extraction, transformation, transport, and daily use.

Distribution across seven localities and educational rollout

The equipment rollout follows prior teacher training sessions designed to help educators implement the V4LE (Vos y la Energía x4) tools in local classrooms. The current phase includes deliveries by Daiana Neri, Secretary of the Provincial Liaison Unit with Universities, alongside School Counselor Edith Correa, and various school management teams. Governor Alberto Weretilneck’s agreement with Fundación YPF targets 62 total units for schools in Allen, General Roca, Cipolletti, Villa Regina, San Antonio Oeste, Valcheta, and Sierra Grande. Recent distributions specifically reached 11 schools in the San Antonio Oeste area.

Interactive models bridge classroom instruction and energy sector

The interactive models serve as a pedagogical bridge between classroom instruction and the province’s energy sector. These tools allow us to address natural and social science contents, in addition to promoting scientific and technological vocations, Daiana Neri stated. The broader agreement encompasses 120 professional internship spots for technical school students in the energy sector, 120 teacher training vacancies with points, 520 technical and digital training openings, and the deployment of the Energía Argentina mobile classroom to three localities of the province.

Unresolved implementation timelines for remaining municipal deliveries

While initial distributions and presentations have concluded in areas such as San Antonio Oeste, official releases do not specify the exact dates when the remaining units will reach classrooms in Allen, General Roca, Cipolletti, Villa Regina, Valcheta, and Sierra Grande, nor have organizers detailed the specific launch schedule for the mobile classroom’s arrival in the three designated localities.
