Science Alive is jointly organised by the British Council, the Education Bureau (EDB), the Hong Kong Education City Limited and the Hong Kong Science Museum, sponsored by The Croucher Foundation. Every year, for the past 21 years, Science Alive invites leading UK academics and communicators in various fields of science to engage Hong Kong’s students, teachers and the public in activities that promote a wider understanding of science. 2013 marked the 60th anniversary of the discovery of DNA structure, and we will celebrate this in the Science Alive programme with the theme of Biology – The Code of Life. Biology is the study of life and living organisms, which relates to everyone. What makes you a boy or a girl? How does your body prevent you from becoming ill? Why should we care about the ecosystem? Biology does not only provide you better understanding about yourself as a human but also raises your awareness towards other species and the environment. As always, we would like to thank our partners and sponsors for their continued support and the many teachers, students and parent participants who help make science “alive”. Welcome and join us during 8 - 21 March 2014! Science Alive 2014 programme includes: Family days with drop-in activities Science drama shows Science walkabout shows Teachers & students workshops Science interactive lectures Student debate Science hands-on exhibition FameLab Hong Kong grand final We hope that these activities will bring you fresh ideas and inspiration about different aspects of science while demonstrating that learning and teaching such subjects can be creative and fun!
