The Abu Dhabi Science Festival is aiming to expand the horizons of the
country’s youth by involving thousands of students.
The event is reaching out to youngsters who cannot attend exhibits in the
capital by visiting communities in Al Ain, Al Gharbia, Ras Al Khaimah,
Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
The third annual festival begins tomorrow at the du Forum on Yas Island
and on Abu Dhabi’s Corniche (East Plaza) and runs until November 23.
“We are thrilled to engage with all our future scientists and engineers that
live across the UAE by bringing this science extravaganza to them,” said
Neama Al Marshoudi, manager of content, science and technology
development, at the Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee.
“Our touring activities will inspire and captivate our young visitors as they
will have the chance to build and race speeding cars, construct
kaleidoscopes, programme robots and experience many other exciting
activities.”
The festival will host even more exciting scientific experiences this year,
