The Rural Educational Institution El Tambo has developed in a very constant manner the processes of the formation in specific abilities and competences based on science involving students from all grades. This situation requires a detailed approach and a direct relationship between the School and the University, what leads to improve the knowledge acquired and built throughout University through socialization, democratization and communication of the learning. Educational institutions, in order to approach the optimal goal of building a formation system that works efficiently focused on abilities and scientific competences, has implemented a series of school events that allows to acclimate the spaces with esteem, healthy coexistence and collaborative environments for the abilities and its respective constructions. These formulations are framed not only in politics of improvement in the social environment but also in the restructuration of the three basic areas: science (biology, chemistry, physics), mathematics (arithmetic, statistics, geometry) and social studies (making an emphasis in the formation of Human and Social Rights). The school, as its duty is to create in students a scientific mindset, developing and reinforcing their abilities, has seen itself immersed in process of different forms of discipline as well as the visualization of ethnical and environmental issues that emerge in the methods of research, like the projects of Nano-science and nanotechnology that appeals for both its little awareness and the little implementation it has in the scopes of the NANO area. From the above, the institution implements approaching processes with University of Antioquia in the Physics Faculty and directly aid from Dr. Carlos Duque like a way of closeness and educational brotherhood.
