A talented young man from the State of Mexico has been selected to participate in a prestigious NASA space training program. This highlights his remarkable academic and scientific career.

NASA, recognized for its rigorous selection and training programs, opens its doors to young talents from around the world.

This year, a young man from the State of Mexico has been included in this select group, marking a significant milestone for the country.
The boy from the State of Mexico who goes to NASA
The participation of this young man from the State of Mexico in the NASA program is not only a personal achievement, but also a reason for national pride. This is because it highlights the importance of education and innovation in Mexico.
Kevin was recognized at the age of four as a child genius by the Talent Assistance Center (CEDAT), with an IQ of 138 points. This is what his mother, Jesica Colín, explained in various media.
His name has also resonated in various national and international scientific competitions and olympiads. He was selected after a rigorous evaluation process that included academic and psychological tests, as well as an exhaustive review of his academic achievements.
Houston, we have a problem
The participation of a young Mexican in this NASA program is a recognition of the quality of education and dedication in Mexico. However, Kevin’s family now faces the financial challenge of covering the costs of flights and lodging for the child and a tutor. According to Telediario, the expenses total around 3,950 dollars (approximately 67 thousand pesos).
The program will take place from July 28 to August 2 in Houston, Texas. Her mother is organizing a collection in the Zócalo on Saturday, May 25 at 10 in the morning, to receive donations.
“We invite the entire community, companies, government, the president, everyone who joins in by making a donation and if not, we will go to the Zócalo on Saturday at 10 in the morning so they can take a photo with Kevin and support us with whatever they want, everything counts,” Jessica told the digital newspaper.
