Each Science Tour is an extremely rewarding trip, spreading the passion for science to thousands of students at various schools. Although at each school there is a different way of organizing, countless interesting and educative experiments were performed, attracting the attention of not only students but also teachers.
There have been numerous experiments that inspired many students such as the Fire Hand, making Fire without lighter, Blue bottle, and Plasma gun. Through fascinating and informative demonstrations, Science Tour wishes to promote knowledge about fields such as Chemistry, Physics and more.

Not only did the children get unforgettable experiences, but the club members also were extremely excited and enthralled to be able to organize the event. Science Tour member - Mai Chi expressed her amusement about organizing this program: “This is my first year participating in Science Tour - a special milestone for me. I don't know how other members feel, but to me, the word “fun” is not enough to describe our past journey. This year's Science Tour was super fulfilling, I got to visit the schools, get to meet the students – it felt like meeting little me from a few years ago.”
Going to Stour helps members strengthen their bonds
Regarding the new features of this year's Science Tour, Nguyen Khac Nhat Minh - President of the Society of Open Science Club excitedly shared: “This year, Science Tour has expanded in scale and visited many more schools, specifically nearly 40 schools! There are also some schools that require our tour to be in English. Not only that, this year our club has collaborated with English learning centers, namely GenE Education to organize the Bilingual Science Day on Walking Street (February 14, 2023).”
Returning to the 10th season, the organizers of Science Tour have brought new and exciting things to students across Hanoi with useful science experiments.
