Science popularization is a need and a right of a society that requires knowledge. Current efforts, particularly in Mexico, are still emerging, since the generation and progress of sciences and disciplines are still centralized in universities and research centers, where science popularization is active amongse-lected pairs or groups who can encode information. However, it is important to disseminateinformation en masse, with anunderstandable code and the use of current technological advancements.The Design and Culture Academic Group results fromconsidering science popularizationas a priority in the field of research. This group is composed by researchers from various disciplines and promotes the research area“Design and technology in popular science”. The multidisciplinary formation of its members has facilitated the development of different research projects with various sponsoring institutions such as CONACYT, CONCYTEG,and PROMEP, as well as a pyramidal structure: doctors, doctoral students, teachers, graduate students, educators, and studentsas the main actors from all the educational levels;therefore, the products obtained come from human resource development and from the empowerment in the field of research. As a result, popular science becomes an educational tool that transcends formal education and reveals the scope of knowledge to all the participants. It is therefore a point of contact between design, technology, and pedagogy.
