The University of the Philippines Cebu is hosting the “Science on the Move” mobile science exhibit by the Philippine Foundation for Science and Technology until February 26 this year.

This is their 7th year of holding the exhibit in Cebu City.

The exhibit, which started on January 21, offers interactive hands-on exhibits to promote a better grasp of basic science and technology (S & T) concepts and processes, which are effective tools in rediscovering science in its essence.

Anchored on the Basic Education Curriculum of the Department of Education, the event was put together by the Philippine Science Centrum and its traveling component, the Adventures in Discovery (AID-TSC), Sci-Fun Caravan (SFCTSC), Science on the Move (SOM), Science Works (SW), the Science Sparks (SS) and Health Science on the Go (HSOG).

Through its travelling exhibits, the Science Centrum has reached communities that would not have benefited from its permanent exhibits in its Science Center/Museums in Metro Manila.

UP Cebu is inviting schools in Cebu to experience this face-to-face educational, exciting and stimulating learning facility.

Such facility allows S & T discovery, interaction, and manipulation of interactive exhibits in the atmosphere of fun, excitement, and entertainment.

“Our aim is to excite young minds to learn more about science and appreciate how it works in order to improve the quality of life,” the university said in a statement. Inquiries and ticket details may be directed to UP High School principal Catherine M. Rodel at (032) 505-1823 or 0917-6217707, or Jeff Montecillos at 0917-5017319.
