The INAOE has also organized important activities like: The Science Baths, Science Workshops for Youths, Science Workshops for Teachers and The Astronomy Olympics. The children’s book titled “Gazing at the Universe” was published in 2007, this was an important accomplishment, because it was a quality edition published by the government of Nuevo León.
