Tlaloque – Ciencia Que Hace Comunidad
Mexico (Morelia)
Tlaloque is a Mexican experimental platform for the dissemination of science and education. Our platform originates from the belief that thoughts are complex and strange.
The Tlaloqueh begin their journey by pursuing ideas, using technological, ancestral, and artistic tools to integrate new meanings and search for knowledge in today’s society.
The Tlaloqueh have the mission to provoke what is about to happen, they use transdisciplinary language to promote science through community and social projects, with the aim of generating new cultural patterns, and amplifying the scientific growth of Latin American countries.
