Preto to contribute to science education, especially of teens in the region of Ribeirão Preto. This Center enables the promotion of various events like the Olympiad of Chemistry, school visits to the University, offering workshops for high school students and teachers. In all activities, information and formative concepts are discussed with participants. The students of chemistry who act as monitors have the opportunity to collaborate in organization and in implementation of activities and may broaden their education. This project promotes continuous dissemination of science, which we think is important for the formation of citizens. The activities, not only benefit the High School students who could learn about the University and Chemistry as a science and profession, but also provided a space for the initial training of teachers.
