Monterrey, Nuevo León., a 27 de febrero de 2018.- The University of Guanajuato (UG) student at HS León, Liset Karime Manzur El Sahili Hernández, obtained the first place in the physics category in the International Science Competition organized by the Tecnológico de Monterrey in its thirteenth edition.

The competition seeks to promote the learning of science among young people, explained Alfonso Serrano, co-founder of the event.

The Tecnológico de Monterrey, through the School of Engineering and Sciences, created an event that aims to highlight high school students from all over the world to see their efforts rewarded at a level that fosters participation, competition and continuous improvement in the areas of Computing, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.

Year after year, the attendance of young people interested in testing their skills in science has been increasing, thus becoming an international-level event, with more than 500 participants in each edition.

On this occasion, Liset made history since she is the first woman to win the category of Physics, "I started to like Physics a lot because it is a way to see nature through mathematics and try to explain it," said the student who won this contest.
