Kids thrilled at Science Park expo
Linda Ratchai
Hundreds of students from Chiang Mai and surrounding school districts got a
chance to see scientific exhibits up close at the Science Park expo held at
Maejo University.
Now
if I crank this fast enough Chiang Mai will never have a black out again.
The 20 plus exhibits, sponsored by the National Science Museum (NSM), the
National Metal and Materials Technology Center, Thailand (MTEC), the
National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) and
National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) transformed complicated scientific
explanations into easy and fun learning projects children of all ages could
enjoy.
There were about 20 Science exhibitions such as the Substance through Plasma
Ball, Learning about Nature, also games and activities like the Super Power
Rebounding Ball, Learning the Nanotechnology through the “power of ten”
activity, the Miraculous Science exhibit and the special “Rocket Show”. A
mobile lab even demonstrated how to make chocolate which of course was a
crowd pleaser among the young ones.
Somjit Wanma, a 14 year old student from Ban pong Mae Lob School, Lampang
said he would like his hometown to have science activities like the Science
Park so students will learn more and have fun with at the same time.

This is really cool, an
endless supply of light.

Hey, I can see Bangkok!

Every time I try this we have
an earthquake.

Let’s do the bunny hop!

The group, learning the Thai language and contents of the Waree Chiang Mai

1000 which one is enough?” and also the topic on “sufficient economic
philosophy is as a guideline for every one” at the event.
The school winning team consisted of Ratcharin Singkharaj, a Mattayom 6
student, Namphufah Petchkaew, and Ms Cholticha Petcharanasangkul, the
Mattayom 5 students who were all advised by Master Pongsakorn Sommitre, the
head of the group representing the school for the debate contest.
Meanwhile, students of the English and Bilingual Program of Waree Chiang Mai
School were entertained by the visiting Up with People during their visit to
Chiang Mai. School representatives performed by singing and dancing which
impressed the guests from the international music group.
