Mexico promotes scientific development and student engagement

In Puebla, the state government and the Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation (SECIHTI) held the second edition of the Dra. Matilde Montoya Lafragua Chair. The event aimed to recognize female scientific talent and promote innovation. Federal Secretary of Science, Rosaura Ruiz Gutiérrez highlighted strategic national projects such as Olinia, which focuses on domestic small electric vehicle production, and Kutsari, which aims to strengthen Mexico's semiconductor design and development capabilities.

In Coahuila, Senator Cecilia Guadiana Mandujano has proposed legislative changes to the General Law of Education and the General Law on Humanities, Sciences, Technologies and Innovation. The initiative seeks to integrate practical scientific activities—such as workshops, experiments, and academic contests—into school curricula to foster critical thinking and interest in STEM fields among students. The proposal also encourages collaboration between educational institutions and technology-driven public and private companies.
