ACIS: Asociación Colombiana de Investigadores en SuizaAngela Pérez
Organización sin ánimo de lucro conformada por investigadores y profesionales, de cualquier nacionalidad, quienes están interesados en la cooperación académica colombo suiza en todas las áreas de la investigación.
With ACIS, in addition to astronomy, we want to talk about science in the country's schools with outstanding Colombian scientists, since 2025.
OUR ACTIVITIES
A program that brings astronomy to rural areas in the country with the objective of inspiring and educating students with this science. Our BARCo kit comes with activities, games and resources built by professional astronomers for the teachers to use in the classroom.
A program that brings together Colombian and Spanish astronomers to give virtual talks in schools all over the country. We aim to inspire students to make drawing relating astronomy and the Colombian culture and participate in a contest to win prizes.
Program to encourage astronomy interest in children and young people from Colombian schools with motivational talks from professional astronomers in the country.
Work together with teachers to generate enthusiasm about astronomy, develop observation projects with telescopes and workshops.
In partnership with Shadow the Scientists (StS), we connect groups of Colombian students so that they learn what a professional astronomical observation is all about. Students get the chance to observe remotely with some of the best observatories in the world.
