AHETEMS - Advancing Hispanic Excellence in Technology, Engineering, Math and Science

Noches De Ciencias (Family Science Nights)

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, AHETEMS works with SHPE student and professional chapters across the United States to coordinate a one-week national campaign -- SHPE Noches De Ciencias.

The Noches De Ciencias (Family Science Nights) are a series of awareness events that host K-12 students to promote knowledge, awareness, interest and motivation about science and engineering and scholarship and college opportunities. Grade appropriate hands-on activities are hosted during the 3-hour events. In addition, Spanish and English workshops for parents on college choice and financial aid are hosted.

The first annual Noches De Ciencias was hosted from October 12 - 18, 2008. Here is a list of scheduled events.
