PAUTA also organizes workshops and events that involve not only children and youth, but also their families and the community in general.
The science workshops are extracurricular spaces led by a workshop leader, which also seek to develop scientific skills and critical thinking.
The workshops aimed at families have the purpose of supporting the promotion of science at home, that is, that parents or guardians are able to get involved in the construction of knowledge through inquiry, experimentation and analysis.
Science fairs are events that are organized every year, in which children and young people share their research projects, receive feedback from people in the scientific community and can learn about the work of their peers from other states of Mexico.
Programa Adopte un Talento AC, is the host of the Falling Walls Engage Hub Mexico, which brings together professionals and organizations working in the scientific field in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.
PAUTA works to foster talent for science and mathematics among children and young people, as well as to develop their critical thinking. The goal is to develop people with an interest in science, but also citizens with a greater capacity for participation who assume themselves as agents of change in their society.
