It's been a pleasure to be the President of @IOSA_chapter the @OpticalSociety Student Chapter in Madrid @IO_CSIC last year.
I had several ideas that couldn't happen due to the pandemic, but that didn't stop us form doing many great activities
I'll sum you up the year

The last in-person activity we had was part of the program 'Ciencia en el Barrio' in the IES Ciudad de Jaen, to bring science closer to young students at risk of social exclusion.
@CarmenMLago1 and me participated in this fantastic activity with 14 years old students

Few days after this activity, the lockdown begun in Spain and, unfortunately, all the activities that were planned had to be cancelled.
Even though, we did not waste time and started to think about new activities, with the support of many people
