Currently, there is limited insight on the role that scientific diasporas can play in STEAM education in Latin America. Here, we present the Science Clubs Colombia (Clubes de Ciencia Colombia-SCC) program, a pioneering STEAM capacity-building initiative led by volunteer scientists to engage youth and children from underserved communities in science. The program brings together researchers based in Colombia and abroad to lead intensive project-based learning workshops for young students in urban and rural areas.

- This study investigates energy release and transfer in two sub-A class solar microflares observed during a 2014 rocket flight, showcasing FOXSI-2's unique imaging capabilities in the hard X-ray regime.
- Utilizing spectral analysis, researchers found high-temperature plasma evidence (~10 MK) and emission measures, suggesting a possible standard thick-target model for the flare's energy source despite a lack of detected nonthermal emissions.
- The FOXSI-2's advanced design provides enhanced sensitivity and resolution, revealing complexities in microflare behavior that suggest they share evolution patterns with larger flares rather than the simpler bursts expected from nanoflares.
