Leading up to the mid-term school holidays, KidZania Kuala
Lumpur officially launched its “Science & Space” variable school-holiday programme, featuring specially-designed fun, engaging and educational activities centered on the theme of Science & Space.
The launch was officiated by Guest of Honour, Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr. Mazlan Othman, the first Malaysian astrophysicist and former Director General of the Malaysian National Space Agency (Angkasa), who also served as the Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs.
On the Science & Space programme, she commented, “It is certainly heartening to see corporate organisations such as KidZania Kuala Lumpur contributing towards the enhancement of learning of Science & Space. Truly, science helps children develop vital life skills such as problem solving and logical thinking. Science is totally relevant to our everyday life. What is more inspiring is that in a child’s role as a scientist, they can aspire to solve world challenges such as climate change. This is important for the younger generation.”
Also present were Shahrul Nizar Ahmad, Mayor of KidZania Kuala Lumpur and representatives from collaborating partners comprising Faber-Castell, Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), F&N, Mission Foods and Kewpie, Google, Tanamera, Generasi Marikh Academy, mangoSTEEMS and the Science Bridge Academy.
“We’re certainly going all out to make this an unforgettable and most importantly, enjoyable experience for kids and their parents as well.Not only will they be entertained and engaged through the activities and workshops featuring a whole lot of fun, they will also learn so much about the sciences and our universe by participating in these activities,” said Shahrul Nizar Ahmad.
