“It was quite exciting what I felt when they told me my result; even so, there is still a lot to do, but this basis is essential so that later on we do want to carry out experienced scientific research in the area. It's good to start from scratch to promote that interest in astronomy, in physics and in all these sciences,” he said.

In this regard, the governor of the entity, José Alejandro Terán, stated that the Semillero de la Patria is building a brilliant future in science, technology and innovation with the purpose of contributing to the future of the Great Homeland.

“In the year and six months that we have in space, in the state of La Guaira we have served more than 10,000 young people in training processes in different areas of knowledge, from physics, chemistry, mathematics and robotics. And today, the result of that seed of love, of knowledge, of commitment, we are celebrating with these young people, who are the young Semillero de la Patria,” he said.
