On November 15-16th, the STEM event: «I Noche Blanca De La Ciencia” hosted by ECUSA_Midwest Chapter & the Instituto Cervantes of Chicago was celebrated in the Instituto Cervantes of Chicago. Undoubtedly, adults and children enjoyed our expert research panelists, scientific communicators, and interactive workshops in an atmosphere full of learning and fun. Furthermore, we gave fantastic awards to the winners of the drawing competition themed «What Does Science Mean to You?»
