The mission of the Clubes de Ciencia México (CdeCMx) team is to expand access to science education of the highest quality and motivate the next generation of scientists, technologists, and innovators in the country through intensive courses in various STEM areas and the creation of networks of international talent.
CdeCMx was born in 2014, and throughout these eight years of operations, we have developed an educational model that combines face-to-face and distance education. Our main program is the Clubes de Ciencia (Science Clubs), which consists of intensive courses aimed at middle and high school students on various science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics.
In 2022 we returned to face-to-face activities under a hybrid model with thirty Clubs (courses) taught in 9 cities. Different academic activities complemented the Clubs, such as an online webinar on how to apply to postgraduate programs abroad, a workshop on how to assemble and use the origami microscope Foldscope, and a seminar on our carbon footprint to raise awareness among our participants about our environment. Additionally, integration activities included two sports rallies and ten science cafes where students could interact directly with instructors and learn from their experiences as scientists.
Check out our new video about this year.
We want to extend our sincere thanks to our donors and sponsors. Also, to our team of instructors, coordinators and local committees, collaborators, and volunteers for their invaluable contribution of time and knowledge to the development and logistics of the Clubes de Ciencia México. We couldn't have done it without you!
New adventures and lots of science for next year!
