The Mind Museum marks two years of science, exploration and creativity this month with adventures that have taken kids and kids-at-heart on an unforgettable journey. Together with my daughter and Mom, we got invited to participate this year's Media Family Day. It was our first to visit The Mind Museum and on our way to the venue, my 3 year old daughter could not contain her excitement when I told her we will be seeing a big dinosaur. I, on the other hand, was really curious to discover what this Science museum has to offer for an adult like me.
Upon entering the premises, the robot Aedie welcomed us which made my little girl more enthusiastic. I guess she was in awe to see a real one in person, aside from the cartoon shows she's often watch. Today's theme is Wide-Eyed Wanderer's Exploration.
As we wait for the program to officially start, we were handed passports that entitles us to delicious treats from their partners - Kyle's Lab, Sophie's Mom, Uncle Cheffy's and Sebastian's Artisan Ice Cream. The food were wonderfully presented that prepared the kids (and kids by heart) for an energized afternoon of Science exploration. I personally liked the Salted Butter Caramel of Sebastian's!
We also listened to short interviews of Mr. Manuel Blas II and Ms. Maria Isabel Garcia on how the first world-class Science museum took place in our country and how our fellow Filipinos contributed to the design structure. These people poured their hearts and soul on this project, no wonder it is now internationally recognized.

The skeleton of T. Rex named Stan. He is definitely the museum's centerpiece! I'm glad my daughter didn't freak out when she saw it. We learned that a group of Filipino construction crew took just 4 days to assemble Stan.
In line with its second anniversary, The Mind Museum organised several programs for the kids to kick off this summer. You may email summerprograms@themindmuseum.org for more info.
C.S.I. 101 – a comprehensive module on the learning adventures of basic forensic science. It consists of excellent workshops, for age groups 10-13 and 14-17 years old. The participants will be divided into teams that will gather and analyze evidence from crime scenes, as well as present their cases to a panel of Investigators. There is also a Forensic Art workshop for the 18-25 age group which will introduce the participants to methods like composite sketching and forensic photography that are used to aid with solving cases.
MARINE SCIENCE CAMP w/ CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, in AIYANAR BEACH & DIVE RESORT, ANILAO BATANGAS – an outdoor adventure for families to create a deeper appreciation of the marine environment through science. Participants get to know more about marine biodiversity & ecosystems, with an add-on astronomy/stargazing session at night!
JUNIOR MIND MOVER PROGRAM
Now on its 3rd year, and hailed by many parents whose kids have enrolled in it as “transformative”, the month-long Junior Mind Mover (JMM) program consists of a series of exercises and workshops that are designed to expose kids to the work of scientists in museums. The JMMs will learn deeply about the Museum exhibits, as well as creative science communication through experiment demonstrations and activities on the different fields of science.
SOCCER SCIENCE is both a full soccer game and a science workshop! A worldwide favourite, this sport will be understood through the lens of science. This program aims to help people see the many physics principles at play in a game and how knowledge of physics and science in general can help improve their performance. People who have no knowledge in football but are interested in science will also enjoy dissecting the forces that causes curve balls, the trajectories of long shots, and the anatomy of a skilled player.
They also have special rates for Day Pass this summer. Come with your friends, families and relatives! For updates, you may also visit their official Facebook page or website by clicking the links .

I really suggest you go visit The Mind Museum, my pictures above are just some of the highlights but the experience is something you should invest to. Learning Science is no way far from our day to day lives and it's really best to appreciate it. With technology and art added on to it, Science can never be too boring even for adults. There's also Science-in-the -park on the other side where my daughter capped off her first Science adventure.
Thank you very much The Mind Museum for this fun day of exploration.
Special thanks also to Ms. Nikki of Green Bulb. We will be back soon with rest of the family!
