The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.

A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#91) – 21st April 2023: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – Técnico’s microwave educational kit.

Técnico’s microwave educational kit is an example of the importance of experimentation in teaching and research. Designed in the 1960s and currently on display at the Faraday Museum, Alameda campus, it played a key role in the field of Electrical Engineering. The kit, which is impeccably preserved in a green box, was designed to disseminate microwave techniques. The kit included everything it was needed to carry out fundamental experiments such as transmission, antennas, microwave receivers, accumulator devices, resonant cavities and emitted signal frequency, among others.
