Instituto Politécnico Superior, Technical university institute in Rosario, Argentina
The Instituto Politécnico Superior is a technical higher education school in Rosario located at the start of Pellegrini Avenue in a distinctive building. It offers seven-year technical education programs that combine classroom instruction, laboratory work, and continuous evaluation methods.
The school was founded in 1906 as the Escuela Industrial de la Nación during a period of rapid industrial growth in Rosario. In 1961 it shifted its educational focus from training engineers to preparing specialists for middle management roles in industry.
The school maintains a tradition called taburetazo, where first-year students craft wooden stools that become symbols of their educational journey. This hands-on practice connects students to the school and creates a sense of belonging.
The campus is located near the southeastern edge of Rosario's city center and is easily accessible via Pellegrini Avenue. The facility has laboratory spaces and classrooms equipped for hands-on technical training.
The school started in 1906 with only 28 students and became an important part of Rosario's early industrial development story. These modest beginnings show how a local initiative grew into an established educational institution.
