This manuscript describes a new strategy for introducing secondary school students to biochemistry. To bridge the gap between secondary education and the university, the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Barcelona, in collaboration with the SEBBM (The Spanish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), designed a course with lectures and practical classes for students in their last year of secondary school. The impact of this course on society has been considerable, and it is now a reference model for other disciplines.
