CdeC was founded in 2014 by Mexican doctoral candidates from Harvard and MIT with the mission to “expand access to high-quality science education, inspire and mentor future generations of researchers through a network of scientific collaboration”. Within a year, the project expanded to Colombia and Bolivia, having trained 4,500 students. In 2017, as part of the expansion project, Science Clubs arrived in Brazil, Paraguay and Peru and is now present in 9 countries, in which more than 15 thousand students have been trained by more than 1000 instructors. In 2020, Science Clubs International was created, a non-governmental organization that brings together all Science Clubs around the world
