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.

PAS Foundation comes into being in the year 2010 with the purpose of providing a solution that impacts in the abatement of the frequency of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA), through the strengthening of families, school communities, public and private organizations, as well as the business sector. With innovative models of information, education, communication and assistance, resulting in the protection of every child and teenager, their parents and tutors being both alert and capable to identify, guide and channel in every instance when a symptom or situation of risk appears, making possible that they live in a safe environment. We seek to advance in Child Sexual Abuse prevention in every social setting, because it is a problem that affects the whole of society and because it has not been dealt with in an integral manner, notwithstanding that its consequences damage radically the lives of children and teenagers. Consequentially, we will, through educational programs, facilitate information and preventive tools to help people inhibit CSA in their environment, and at the same time we will facilitate instruments that will teach people what to do when a situation of risk does present. Mission: Promote a culture of prevention and care of Child Sexual Abuse through innovative educational programs and care models, so that children, teenagers and their families have a life free from sexual violence.
