Hong Kong Trip (Science LJ) - Visit to Hong Kong Science Museum & Macau Science Centre

I visited Hong Kong Science Museum . Just in time for the Science Alive Month, an event joinly organised by British Council, the Hong Kong Science Museum, Education Bureau and Hong Kong Education City Limited.There were family activities  (Science Demo Shows & Activity stations) and interactive lectures. Quite an eye opener for me. I was completely taken in by what I had seen and experienced. Take a look at the photos and videos that I have taken.

The Hong Kong Science Museum is a must go for me whenever I go to Hong Kong. Back in 2013, I saw a live Science Demo in this place, I was so inspired that when I came back and I shared with Mr Chua to start something similar in our school. Mr Chua gave me his blessings and the rest was history - The birth of the Fun Scientist Programme (FSP) @ Palm View  which has now become a signature programme of the school.

                    The FSP Demo Theatre that we have comes from the Hong Kong Science Museum

There is also a concurrent exhibition called  - Strange Matter . Essentially an exhibition on Materials Science. I majored in Materials Science in NUS, so this exhibition brought back fond memories what I used to study .Unfortunately I have forgotten many of the things that I have studied, so this was something of a refresher for me. I also got to learn also new materials such as Ferrofluids, Amorphous metals and shape memory alloy.

Macau Science Centre
澳門科學館 (Centro de Ciência de Macau)

Before I left for Hong Kong, my friend who knew that I am a Science Museum Freak suggested that I visit the Macau Science Centre. He told me that I would not regret. Well, I took his advice and I must say I was wowed.

The Macau Science Centre was designed by Ieoh Ming Pei (born April 26, 1917), commonly known as I. M. Pei. He is a Chinese-born American  architect often called the master of modern architecture.
