Abstract
The Science Workshop for Teachers (TCP) took place at the Juriquilla Campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico from June 23rd to June 29th. It was a week of intense activities linking secondary and high school teachers with research, inquiry, and creativity. The participants attended six days of science workshops, seminars, laboratories, and academic field trips along with the students. Some of the purposes of the TCP were to socialize information, actively participate in workshops and seminars, witness sustainable practices, and go on a geological-palaeontological field trip. It also sought to rethink teaching activities in areas related to Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, and Earth Sciences. This work includes a brief description of the activities carried out during the TCP-2024 conveying the reflections and experiences of the participating teachers in order to motivate and encourage more teachers to join the activities and replicate this workshop in other spaces and educational centers.
