EXPERIENCE SCIENCE IN ACTION...

It is nearly impossible to exit a museum without having gained any information or insight. A single visit to a museum can expose the visitors to in-depth information on a subject and a great inspiration for their studies in the future.

These informal learning experiences deserve more attention from educators and parents. Without the stress of assessment and restrictions of strict curriculums, they can transform people's math&science-related perceptions by providing inquiry-based and hands-on experiences, explorations, and individual discovery.

I believe giving kids space to explore what they are interested in is the most effective method of motivation for math & science.

AND If you are a parent planning to visit the cities below, make sure your children also have time and opportunity to see these mind-blowing museums and science centers. You would not believe the change in their perspective towards science and math while having so much fun.
