King George V Recreational Grounds, Floriana
The Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Research and Innovation Keith Azzopardi Tanti inaugurated science exhibits in the King George V il-Florjana Garden, in collaboration with the Maltese Science Centre, l’Esplora.
This exhibition will be strengthening the use of science in everyday life among our communities through a set of four exhibits that create music. These are the Cherub, the Cavatina, the Cadenza and the Sansa Rimba which were also installed in fourteen other localities following a call for local councils to host one set of exhibits in their community. The Percussion Play exhibits can be played and enjoyed by people of different ages and abilities to strengthen the involvement of science in everyday life even when creating music. These exhibits make various sounds that are made of vibrations or sound waves.
The Parliamentary Secretary Keith Azzopardi Tanti praised this project which will strengthen the use of science in the Maltese and Gozitan communities through the music created by the set of four exhibits that were installed in the location of Floriana and fourteen other localities. “Without knowing it, in everyday life we are constantly implementing science in what we do. Therefore we want to improve knowledge about this even in a pleasant way so that everyone can recognize the importance of science in their lives,” repeated Parliamentary Secretary Azzopardi Tanti.
Executive Chairman of the Maltese Council for Science and Technology Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando claimed that, “Esplora’s involvement in this project will translate into giving a boost to the Science Center in the community. As part of our initiatives to raise more awareness and spark curiosity about science, we are working hard to fulfill our mission by being closer to our communities. This should lead to more people visiting us at the Interactive Science Center in Kalkara.”
The Mayor of Floriana Vincent Borg praised this initiative and reiterated that, “It is gratifying to see that our community together with other localities benefit from projects like this. That way families will be able to enjoy this set of exhibits and appreciate more the use of science in everyday life.”
