Clubes de Ciencia Mexico (CdeCMx) is a non-profit organization that seeks to encourage Mexican students to pursue professional careers in STEM. We have designed and implemented a blended model of STEM education through hands-on workshops, called Clubes and online courses, named MiniMOOCs. The Clubes and MiniMOOCs target high school and undergraduate students. They are designed for students to learn theoretical and practical aspects at the frontier of multiple topics in STEM. The curriculum of each Club and miniMOOCs is developed by a team of young scientists from the most prestigious universities and research institutions in Mexico and the USA. Each year during the summer we carry out our week of Clubes de Ciencia in multiple cities in Mexico in partnership with multiple institutions. Our miniMOOCs are available to everybody through our online platform.

We empower communities to be responsible of their access to water and get a chance to step out of poverty. We improve life conditions by improving health conditions, reducing hunger, and giving more opportunities to focus on school and work.

We work in conjunction with institutions in the area with whom we have agreements that certify that the girls have comply with the Government Educational requirements. Some girls are allowed to attend school out of our home, others receive home schooling, either because they are behind their regular school grade or need special attention. That is why we also offer government approved home education programs. We follow up with each case until the girls succeed and get their school diploma. To assure the girls not only have an academic development, we also offer different workshops so they can have an alternative career path when leaving the house, they can choose between, Cosmetology, Seamstress, and Artisanship. They also learn English and take IT courses.
