RIYADH: The Red Sea Museum has announced the launch of its summer camp, the Red Sea Lab, a program specializing in science, technology, engineering and mathematics for children aged 10 to 14, aiming to inspire a new generation of scientists and innovators.
Taking place from Aug. 25 to 29 at the Red Sea Museum in Historic Jeddah, the camp will transform the museum into an interactive laboratory where participants can explore the Red Sea from a scientific perspective, learning about its geological formation, biodiversity, marine heritage and environmental challenges through a series of workshops and scientific experiments.
The camp combines practical learning across the STEM disciplines to develop scientific curiosity, strengthen critical thinking and teamwork, and encourage innovation and problem-solving.
Participants will take on the role of young researchers and engineers as they conduct experiments, design prototypes, use coding and robotics, and develop solutions to environmental challenges related to the Red Sea.
Commenting on the program, Eman Zidan, director of the Red Sea Museum, said: “The Red Sea represents an exceptional natural ecosystem and an intrinsic part of our history and cultural heritage. The Red Sea Lab helps raise awareness among younger generations on environmental challenges, including climate change, marine pollution, protecting coral reefs, preserving ecological balance and safeguarding the marine environment.
