According to a statement from the provincial government of Namibe, to which VerAngola had access, the project was launched at Liceu nº 58 M Welwitschia Mirabilis, in Moçâmedes.
On the occasion, the Secretary of State said that the project is part of the "innovative integrated plan for school complementarity, promoting experimental science teaching from preschool to higher education, which is embodied in the displacement of professionals from all public and private educational establishments, as well as from the most vulnerable community".
This initiative is made up of several interactive modules, such as an earthquake table.
"This project has several interactive modules of high interest, including the earthquake table, with explanations about tectonic plates and structural reinforcement, conical mirror anamorphosis, dedicated to illusions of curvature and modules on electrical conductors and insulators, fluid rate, rocks and minerals, vortices and fluid viscosity", reads the note.
In addition, students will also have the opportunity to use "metal detectors, play Pythagoras puzzles based on the famous theorem, and apply their imagination and spatial intelligence in the fun '3-D tic-tac-toe' competition".
"This itinerant project 'Science on Wheels', which debuted in Namibe, aims to promote the experimental teaching of STEM sciences [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] in education and teaching establishments in the national public and private network, from higher education onwards, as well as in vulnerable communities", the note points out.
In another note, to which VerAngola had access, the government of Namibe explains that this initiative aims to reinforce the "massification of scientific knowledge through enthusiasm, rigor, professionalism and guarantee of the democratization of science in Angola".
In addition to Alice Ceita, the provincial vice-governor for the Political, Social and Economic sector, Abel do Rosário Kapitango, and the provincial vice-governor for Technical Services and Infrastructure, Ema da Silva, were also present at the launch ceremony.
