Sharing with people who need us is always a valuable experience. This time, we visited an ortho hospital for children. For a morning, we were able to get along with them, play, laugh a little bit, and even dance. We got to give them a little piece of us, by teaching them a bit of science: the importance of DNA, through a DNA isolating experiment. We are glad they had fun learning. The most surprising was that even parents seemed interested! | Sharing with people who need us is always a valuable experience. This time, we visited an ortho hospital for children.

| − | + | Science is often defined as something boring or repetitive, perception that was turned down by a genius we all know about: Beakman. This character has had a huge impact over the popular image of science, by placing it as something fascinating. Therefore, we thought that a great idea to promote science in our school was to bring everybody’s scientific idol himself to invite them to it. The event was a Science Olympiad in which the participants aimed to earn a place to represent our campus in the International Science Olympiad that Tecnológico de Monterrey hosts every year. At the end of the day, we had a conference and talk show with the crazy scientist that made everybody keen on what we do. | |
