Through this event we got to learn a lot about other teams. We prepared different activities to bond, learn, and comment on our experiences and progress throughout the year.

Our team prepared fun activities to get to know the members of different teams and to create an appropriate space for us to share all our experiences.

Travesuras

Date:

May 23th, 2015

Objectives:

-Spread the love for science among children and teenagers.

-Give kids a special opportunity to learn and have fun at the same time

Description:

“Travesuras” is an annual project that takes place in our campus to invite kids from a government reliant organization called DIF (System for the Integral Development of Families) to celebrate Children’s Day with them and, in our case, teach them about science and how fun it can be.s.

This year we prepared different experiments to perform with them. We taught them how fireworks are made by burning different elements, and how to extract DNA from a banana.

It was very special for us to meet and have fun with children who were extremely excited about being able to behave as scientists for one day. Each one of them got the opportunity to be part of a experiment and many of them told us how interested they were on becoming scientists.

We believe that part of our job as members of the scientific community is creating bonds between young people and our passion, showing them how they can achieve anything they want to if they are brave enough to fight for it.

Science is definitely one of the most important areas of development for our country and having little children get interested in learning more and understanding the world that surrounds them through science was a very gratifying experience for the whole team.

Díaz-Lombardo Hospital

Date:

April 25th, 2015

Objectives:

-Spread the love for science among little children.

-Celebrate Children’s Day with kids from a hospital.

Description:

During our visit to the hospital, besides playing with children, we had fun by teaching them the importance of DNA. We did an experiment where we could separate the DNA of a banana so children could see the nucleotides and learn about science.

This experience was very charming for all of us and for the children because of the fact that they had a good time while learning. We think they were very interested and even their parents got to learn some new things!

Advanced placement science groups

Date:

Summer 2015

Objectives:

-Help new students finding their passion for science and enjoying it through fun activities.

Description:

Our campus provides the opportunity of learning sciences in high level programs. This year, we were asked to support the chemistry teacher while inducing the new students to the world of science.

It is always great to learn about the fun side of science and we got to do that with this younger students. We prepared different classes to get to know the students, test their knowledge about science and teach them basic laboratory techniques.

This experience was a very good opportunity to understand the huge importance of science for other students and how they understand this specific area. We got to test our own knowledge and to again spread the love we feel for science, as this is one of our most important objectives as a team.

We learned a lot from the importance of feeling passionate about science and being able to learn in a dynamic and fun way. It is always important to test knowledge by sharing it with others and getting the opportunity to do that in our own community is always a privilege.

Presentation for new parents and students

Date:

August 2015

Objectives:

-Get people interested on the science projects that take place in our community.

Description:

Every year, new students enter our High School and it is important for us to explain what we do to them and get them interested, not only in the project itself, but also in the situation that takes place in our community.

This year, we were able to explain all the areas of our project to both new parents and students of our High School. This was a great way to attract new members of the group and create awareness of the issues that are currently taking place in Xochimilco.

It is always interesting to receive feedback about our project and this was a great opportunity to obtain it. Hearing what people have to say about our ideas and achievements and actually feeling that they admire and respect what we do is a great experience for the whole team.
