Our event will allow attendees to become familiar with geographic concepts and learn how geography is currently part of our daily lives. We will make known in a practical and interactive way the biogeographical works that we carry out in the academy with the help of geographic tools available to the general public, based on Citizen Science, teaching their use to the attendees. We will do a short night tour to use these tools and we will talk about the species of flora and fauna that we observed during the event. All this in a Mexican children’s party atmosphere.
