Little Dylan López Chable, an enterprising 10-year-old boy, claimed that he was not allowed into the "2026 National Meeting of Students in Sciences" held a few days ago at the facilities of the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), where the genius girls Daira and Xóchitl, whom President Claudia Sheinbaum already knows, were present.
In two videos shared on social media, the boy, who developed the project "Guardaditos con futuro Mined," a piggy bank shaped like a spaceship that promotes creativity and entrepreneurship among children, said that he watched the event from his phone outside the SEP headquarters and had to wait 4 hours to enter the facilities when everything was already over.
"They didn't let me show the prizes I won in Colombia, and all I wanted was to attend the event because I wanted to see the projects of the other children who have also represented Mexico like me," he lamented.
He recounted that although he was able to enter the SEP facilities, it was only to record a video in which they asked him his age, name, school, and what his business venture was. "They let me record my testimony, but they left me until the very last. The person in charge who was there at the end kicked us out of the place," he claimed.

He recounted that although he was able to enter the SEP facilities, it was only to record a video in which they asked him his age, name, school, and what his entrepreneurship project was.
"They let me record my testimony, but they left me until the very end. The person in charge who was there at the end kicked us out of the place," he claimed.
"The staff who stayed until the end, after finishing the video, kicked us out; they told us that since we had already gotten what we wanted, we should leave, and I want to make clear that I only wanted to spend time with the other children and share the same dreams," he added.
As part of his projects, little Dylan shared that he is currently preparing to go represent Mexico at NASA in the robotics category, to be held in May 2027.
"That's why that event was important to me," he lamented.
In this regard, he thanked President Claudia Sheinbaum for her interest in the education of children in Mexico and the projects they develop in the country.
"I know you are a good person and you love children; I hope to meet you soon (and) be able to show you all the prizes I have won in Colombia representing Mexico," he told the federal leader.
Among the recognitions he has received, Dylan also highlighted a short film about caring for the environment, which he described as "a tribute to those who clean up in Mexico City."

It is worth noting that during the 85th hearing day at the Zócalo held last September 22, the Head of Government, Clara Brugada, met little Dylan, who attended with his mother to talk about the development of his piggy bank project.
In a statement, it was detailed that Brugada Molina received the boy's mother, who recounted that her son won three medals in Colombia for creating a piggy bank designed to teach other children the importance of saving.
Dylan's proposal is a piggy bank shaped like a spaceship containing three compartments (future, wisdom, solidarity) designed to foster financial education from an early age.
As part of the support for the boy, the Head of Government's office offered the child the opportunity to sell his piggy banks at the Utopías of Mexico City.
According to Dylan's mother, the boy was selected to represent Mexico in international events and activities at NASA and in countries such as Egypt, Malta, Paris, and Madrid.
