For children interested in science, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation is organizing the Science Avenue for three days. Children can take part in a variety of scientific experiments as well as activities and games to promote environmental conservation and win countless prizes. The fair is expected to attract some 30,000 visitors. Its theme is “Young Scientists for Green Earth”. The event features exhibitions on the Bio-Economy, Circular Economy and Green Economy (BCG) model, environmental innovations and advances in the food, energy and medical industries.
