“We want to promote territorial relevance and develop the local identity of Magellanic studentsevidencing sociocultural and demographic aspects of the Chilean Antarctic”, said Sergio Hermosilla, vice-rector of the Universidad San Sebastián, campus of Patagonia.

For his part, the mayor of Punta Arenas, Claudio Radonich, stated that this contest also “seeks to commemorate the 82 years of the Chilean Antarctica in a different way, involving our students who, as digital natives, can generate very good proposals relying on the applications and technologies with which they are related on a daily basis.”.
