It is designed for preparatory school students and includes a series of activities that revolve around Eratosthenes's methodology in measuring the Earth’s circumference 2000 years ago. 

 

This year, the day began with a lecture, telling Eratosthenes' history and explaining how to measure the circumference of the earth. After that, the kinds went to the BA Plaza to do their measurements, followed by a videoconference between Alexandria, Aswan and other countries to compare measurement results.
