According to the 2022 National Survey on Public Perception of Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation (CTCI), 81% of respondents reported not having visited or participated in any science- or technology-related activity or museum in the 12 months prior to the survey. This reality is even more pronounced in rural areas of Chile.
