The idea to establish a
scientific center at the Children’s Creativity and Civilization Center
(Children’s Museum) came to complement the comprehensive museum education
system, and in keeping with the largest children’s museums internationally.
Scientific centers have become an essential requirement in children’s museums
worldwide, whereby such a center reinforces the museum’s role in society. The
project aims to promote the flourishing of the most advanced educational
sciences, through scientific experiments that children can do themselves.
The displays at the
scientific center, including biology, chemistry, and physics, will respond to
all the questions on both children’s and adult’s minds. Moreover, it will allow
for the completion of the educational system at all stages, and is considered
supplementary to school curricula, aiming to compensate for the deficiencies in
some schools, such as the lack of equipment in labs. The project also aims to
support children’s and adults’ scientific skills, and to discover their
creative talents and support them and develop them to build a better Egypt.
Project
objectives:
- Supporting
interactive learning for children and families
- Supporting and
simplifying school curricula (biology, chemistry, and physics)
- Introducing children
and families to the Ancient Egyptians’ contributions to science
- Supporting children’s
scientific skills outside of school curricula, and discovering their creative
talents
