DESCRIPTION:In 2008 a group of scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Sc
 iences at the National Autonomous University of México (ICN-UNAM) created
  a science educational program for Mexican youth and teachers in four stat
 es: Programa Adopte Un Talento ( Program Adopt a Talent/PAUTA).  Its basic
  goals were to improve science education and promote equity. This presenta
 tion explores the evolution of the learning and teaching methods which hav
 e been at the core of our educational practice. A constructivist approach 
 to learning applied in extracurricular spaces and the diverse cultural and
  linguistic contexts in relation to the development of  scientific abiliti
 es\, are the central themes of this presentation.
