Andrés Gómez and Guillermo de Andrés have brought this science outreach project already to different scientific fairs and events. This year they were at the Youth Mobile Festival (YoMo) in February/March, at the Barcelona Maker Faire in June, and in a smaller format at the Pint of Science Festival in May, and at the "Saló de l'Ensenyament" in March. In all the events the activity is received with great enthusiasm.

We wish them good luck for the FINAL contest in October!

The main goal of "Cienca en Acción" program is to bring science and technology to the general public. The objectives of the program are:

• Find innovative ideas to make science more appealing to citizens.
• Emphasize the international character of science.
• Contribute to create a scientific contacts and science outreach material network within the European framework.
• Make useful and high-quality educational materials (texts, images, videos, etc.) that help to complement the curricular contents for the different educational levels.
• Encourage educators to take an active interest in science to reach students in classrooms.
• Involve researchers in science outreach activities.
• Increase the scientific culture of the citizenship.
• Show the importance of science for the progress of society and the welfare of citizens.

The participants of "Cienca en Acción" are mainly primary and secondary teachers, students, researcers, scientific communicators... of universitires, research centers, schools, science museums, or other organisms related to science. In fact, anyone interested in teaching and disseminating science of any Spanish or Portuguese speaking country can participate!
