The ALEXploratorium

Overview

The ALEXploratorium is a “hands-on” science facility offering a large collection of educational exhibits designed to engage students and the general public in science and technology.

The ALEXploratorium

Our aim at the ALEXploratorium is to broaden and expand the horizons of our visitors. To this end, we maintain permanent and temporary exhibitions in various fields of science with special emphasis on physics and astronomy.

Why?

The ancient Egyptians excelled in the field of Astronomy, and there is a growing global fascination with all things related to the Universe. Physics is the science of everyday life, and most of everything we understand about the way the world works is based on scientific theories related to physics.

The ALEXploratorium consists of:

• Discovery Zone (Primary and permanent exhibition space)
• Workshops Hall (For specialized, hands-on group activities)
• Listen and Discover Hall (Multimedia shows)
• Multi-Exhibition Hall (Visiting exhibitions)

The ALEXploratorium achieves its objectives by:

• Creating exhibits that illustrate the principles of science and technology, demonstrate their relevance to everyday life;
• Conducting school programs that complement the schools’ science syllabi;
• Producing scientific guidebooks to increase students’ and the general public’s understanding of scientific knowledge and culture; and
• Organizing promotional activities to bring the people of Egypt closer to science.
