Exhibits:
“The Dream of Flying…Can Now Be a Reality” at the Discovery Place in The Scientific Center Kuwait
The Scientific Center Kuwait proudly opened its first of many travelling exhibits entitled Flight! The exhibits includes 17 interactive stations in the space of 460 square meters, ranging from testing your piloting skills, to learning about present day aviation and air traffic. The exhibition has been produced by Heureka, the Finnish Science Centre with support from aviation experts, and in particular, Finnair and the Finnish Aviation Authority.
The Flight! exhibits might aptly be subtitled: “The First 100 Years of Aviation”. Inspired by the effortless gliding of gulls and the annual marathons of migratory birds, man has always dreamt of flight. From Leonardo’s drawings, through experiments with kites and gliders, came the breakthrough of the Wright Brothers to bring us to aviation as we see it today in the 21st century.
Test yourself at the Flight! Exhibits in Discovery Place to see if you have what it takes to be a pilot; including vision tests, co-ordination tests and more! The exhibit contains three main areas: Fly A: The Dream of Flying, Fly B: On the Wing-The Physics of Flying, and Fly C: Present Day and Air Traffic.
The exhibits will be at the Discovery Place until April 10, 2010, to be followed by the next set of travelling exhibits “A T-Rex Named Sue”.
