That’s why the Jalisco Ministry of Education is promoting the STEAM Challenge methodology, which children participate in throughout elementary and middle school. Today, what we are doing in high school fills us with pride.

In the latest edition, held a week ago, 42,000 young people participated, along with researchers and entrepreneurs, and more than 2,000 projects were presented.” “A THOUSAND PROJECTS”.
