Guanajuato, Gto., April 12, 2018.- Nathalia Jasso, a student at the HS Centro Histórico León was awarded the first place of the category of the first high school year in the Talent Land, one of the largest events of innovation and entrepreneurship in Mexico, in this its first edition, which was held in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

This event gathered thirty-thousand participants, from public, talent communities and participants in the Robomath Challenge. For its development, themed lands were established, in them were different speakers and activities since 9:00 to 15:00h. Personalities such as Javier Santaoloalla, Simone Giertz, Julio Profe, Sofia the Robot, Beakman, among others, were some of the main guests in this event.

Talent Land had space for students since elementary to high school in a national mathematics and robotic contest: the Robomath Challenge. The HS Centro Histórico León students participated in both challenges.

In mathematics participated María Torres, Susana Flores and Nathalia Jasso, members of the science club "Jane Goodall" and/or the robotics club of HS Centro Histórico León.

In robotics were present three teams, formed by Alexis Taboada and Fátima Quijas: Leslie Hernández and Martin Cardiel; Eduardo Guzmán, Hugo Martínez and Jesús Alfaro. Also, the professors Frida Reyes and Fernando Torres, coordinators of the science club who were advisors for the youth, as well as official volunteers of the event.

The students participated in braking the Guinness record of the largest robotic class in the world, with approximately 1,000 students.

Worthy to mention that a year ago, Nathalia obtained a silver medal in the National Olympiad in Mathematics and mentioned that an 11% of the contestants in fairs of science contests are women and invited more women to participate.

Her inspiration is Olga Medrano who currently is a scholarship holder at MIT, after winning the world Olympiad of Mathematics and Mexicans made her "Lady Matemáticas".

"I still don't know what I want to study, I still have two years to choose", says Nathalia. But I do want to study something related with mathematics or physics. I want to be a scientist and let people see women can be there. Little by little we are convincing our classmates and friends, so they see that math are fun."
