Penang International Science Fair 2014 and Magic of Science Roadshows

Cherry got selected to attend Penang International Science Fair 2014 (PISF 2014) with her schoolmates. She was part of the school group that went in a bus :) She was so happy as this is the kind of activity she likes.

Another souvenir she got by completing a science challenge

Solar Car workshop - Penang International Science Fair 2014

She told us her teacher chose Year 4 students to attend Solar Car workshop. She enjoyed the Solar Car workshop as she manage to assemble and get it working at the workshop, and she get to bring home her success story. Before the workshop starts they were treated to breakfast of beehoon with nuggets and sausage.

After the workshop, the students were allowed free time to visit exhibition booths. She played games and got some freebies and balloons. Before they leave, they got a lunch box too. I wonder who sponsored their food there as parents didn't pay :p She told me all the school groups got the food packs.

She was back just in time to go for her English class. She was very happy showing off to 哥哥:p He didn't get to go as we are anti-crowd. I still don't really understand the part about it being an "international fair" after her visit.

Magic of Science Roadshows at Queensbay Mall

The same organizer for PISF also did the Magic of Science Roadshows. Somehow we manage to attend two, all at the same mall, QBM :) These Science stuff are all the rage in Penang as we will have a Tech-Dome Penang coming up soon in 2015. The roadshows are a 'pre-heat' to the opening of Tech-Dome.

During the first time Magic of Science Roadshow is at QBM, they had the digital planetarium show which we missed. There was such long queue and we didn't have time to wait for the show 1 hour later. Wished we had the chance to visit, as they didn't have the digital planetarium show after this, too bad. The children didn't have time to complete the full booths to get their cotton candy too, and were sad about it.

Magic of Science Roadshow at QBM in August - sign says wobble detector, but it looks like some circuit?

When Magic of Science Roadshow came back again in December, they manage to complete the activities needed to get their cotton candy reward. They keep showing Baby Orange the box that projects rainbow when torch is shone. Just so happens that 哥哥 was wearing the same t-shirt for both times at the roadshow :P
