The Scientific Center – one of the centers of the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences – hosted the event “Sustainable Development Goals Through Art”, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in collaboration with Zee Art.

The event combined cultural and artistic dialogue through panel discussions and an art exhibition showcasing the creativity of a group of international and local artists. The featured works highlighted the role of art in raising awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and encouraging community engagement in issues related to the environment and development.

Organizing this event reflects The Scientific Center’s commitment to supporting global initiatives that bring together culture, science, and the arts. It also underscores its role as a leading institution in spreading knowledge and promoting environmental and developmental awareness in Kuwait and the region. The event provided an opportunity to engage with artistic and human experiences that inspired the community toward a more sustainable future.

In this context, Ms. Sara Al-Yaqout, Director of Marketing and Communications, stated:
“By hosting this international event, The Scientific Center reaffirms its mission of integrating culture, science, and art in support of the Sustainable Development Goals. We believe that art is a powerful tool in building community awareness and reinforcing the values of sustainability, and we are pleased to serve as a platform to showcase these inspiring experiences to the public in Kuwait.”

The Scientific Center – one of the centers of the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences – launched today, Tuesday, September 2, 2025, the “STEAM Bus” initiative. The bus began its first stop at the Early Learning English Academy – Sabah Al-Salem Branch, offering students across Kuwait an innovative and mobile scientific experience.

The “STEAM Bus” builds upon the “Science Bus” initiative previously introduced by the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences. Inspired by that model, The Scientific Center developed this project to expand its reach and deliver its scientific mission to the widest possible segment of students in an engaging and interactive way.

The project aims to break the boundaries of traditional classrooms through a mobile educational platform that visits both public and private schools according to a structured schedule, providing students with a lively and interactive learning environment.

The bus features three main stations: the Optics Station, the Energy Station, and the Motion Station. Each station offers live scientific experiments and simplified demonstrations that allow students to explore scientific concepts and connect them to real-life applications in an enjoyable, hands-on way. Activities are delivered by a specialized team in science communication, making the experience both curiosity-driven and impactful in shaping the learning process.

In this context, Mr. Mohammed Al-Sanousi, Deputy General Manager for Visitor Experience at The Scientific Center, stated:
“The launch of the STEAM Bus reflects our commitment to developing innovative educational tools that meet the needs of students. Through such initiatives, we aim to spread knowledge in an inspiring and interactive way that resonates with the interests of the new generation, strengthens their connection to science, and encourages exploration and learning.”
