A science-based community
Doing community-based science
Motivated young people investigate, share and participate in their communities
We encourage young people to explore their curiosities, observe their environment, question everything and to look for all possible answers. We believe that researching and sharing knowledge with others can positively impact their individual lives, their community’s lives and, ultimately, building a better Peru.
