MESciSoc Educational Field Trip 2010

 Finally, the MESciSoc had its tour on different places around NCR. The following are some of the pictures from Meralco Museum, Philippine Science Centrum and La Mesa Ecopark. See also the links below for the sites in case you want to visit the places.

Meralco Museum

The Meralco Museum brings to life the 100-year history of the company, tracing its services and growth from its beginnings in 1903 to the giant that it has become today. The museum fitted out and constructed by Cityneon manages to pack a lot of information into a small space. What makes the space outstanding is, the information is presented in a dynamic, very contemporary manner which keeps visitors’ interest high.

There we experienced time travel in steps away! - from the present to 1903. That is through time tunnel,  all lit in extraterrestrial blue that appears to hover slightly off the floor.Every step is really a discovery!

Philippine Science Centrum

The first interactive science museum in the country. The museum features a wide variety of science exhibits, it offers an alternative venue for learning science, mathematics and technology in a fun and exciting way.

The “anti-gravity mirror” and “finger tickler” marks the start of the hands-on science tour. Everything is cool and new! There were experiments that made us amazed and wonder how these are made. We ran, walk and played. Every piece of experiment was for us to discover and learn which made us so exhausted yet enjoyed!

La Mesa Ecopark

The highlight of the educational trip - La Mesa Ecopark: ADVENTURE ZONE! 

La Mesa Ecopark envisions a better environment for our children. Their mission is to spread environmental awareness through education and advocacy. La Mesa Ecopark is a venue providing for healthful outdoor recreation and a true forest experience. It is a living classroom and laboratory for environmental education and aims to be a center for biodiversity conservation.

We proved that we don’t need to go out of town to experience intense action. We did rapelling, wall climbing and zipline that really put us in to test. Three hours was not enough to tour the wonders of this park! We only had the chance to enjoy a side of it.
