On April 8, several cities in Mexico, the United States and Canada were able to enjoy the total solar eclipse, an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Moon is placed in the middle of the Sun and the Earth, generating a blockage that causes the lunar shadow to fall momentarily on the Earth. 

The media coverage and people's interest showed us that this phenomenon is not only an entertainment opportunity but also an opportunity to get closer to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) areas.   

Those of us who have children in our close environment can bring them closer to STEM areas with the "pretext" of knowing more about the eclipse, eliminate myths and generate greater curiosity to other physical phenomena around us. 

Women at the forefront of the debate, leading the way to a more inclusive and equitable dialogue. Here, diversity of thought and equitable representation across sectors are not mere ideals; they are the heart of our community.
