Students enjoyed the International Museum Day’s programs at the Science Museum

International Museum Day was celebrated at the National Museum of Science and Technology on Wednesday with the presence of a large number of students. The students were invited to the Science Museum for the event titled "Contributions of a Museum in Nation Building and Science Education". Science Olympiads, Science Lecture Competitions, Drone and Robot Exhibitions and Knowledge Practices and Environmental Protection Oaths are organized to mark the event.

Hundreds of students from two educational institutions in the capital gathered at the museum's Gangchil auditorium and swore, "We will sharpen the practice of science and develop innovative entities by associating with the museum. We will dedicate the knowledge gained from the museum to the prosperity of the country and the world."

Director General of National Museum of Science and Technology Mohammad Munir Chowdhury administered the oath. In an Olympiad organized on this occasion, 5 students were declared winners and a total of 6 students were given souvenirs of various colors by the Science Museum.

Dr. Niyamul Naser, a professor of the department of Zoology of Dhaka University was present as a special guest on the occasion. In his speech, he said, "Science is spread in and around nature and it is not possible to practice science without nature."

Gathering the students on the open roof of the Science Museum, Director General Mohammad Munir Chowdhury said, “Currently, intense heat and climate change are the result of human greed. To get rid of this, we have to stop cutting down trees recklessly, we have to do eco-friendly planned urbanization, and we have to do extensive greening.

Students stood on the open roof in the scorching heat, holding an umbrella, a commemorative gift from the Science Museum in their hands and swore, "As students, we will be vigilant in protecting the environment, protesting against pollution, not cutting down trees, I will plant and contribute to the protection of the earth.”
