These students were the authors of the articles published in the magazine.  

 
The event began with a speech from Father Juan Cardenas Tapia who encouraged students to continue doing research and writing articles, since it is important to share the knowledge you acquire.

Promoting research among young high school graduates is essential for the development of critical and analytical skills, which are essential elements for their academic and professional growth. Through research, students not only acquire knowledge, but also become active agents in building solutions for the social and global challenges of the future.
