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.
