REPORT: 1001 Inventions engages children at Egypt’s historical ‘City of the Dead’ in 2020

In December 2020, children at Cairo’s ‘City of the Dead’ were introduced to the wonders of science with a series of engaging sessions organised by 1001 Inventions in collaboration with ARCHiNOS Architecture www.archinos.com/ and the support of Al Alfi Foundation www.alalfifound...
Activities organised at Maq’ad of Sultan Qaitbey Center for Culture and Arts (MASQ) introduced children to basic scientific concepts through films, hands-on activities and exciting demonstrations inspired by pioneers from the golden age of Arabic science. Children travelled back to fascinating ancient times when Arabic was the lingua franca of science. They learned about Al-Zahrawi, Al-Kindi, Ibn Sina, Ibn al-Haytham, Jabir ibn Hayyan and many other scientists whose remarkable contributions still impact our world today.
A creative team of local science explainers offered a warm welcome to all children and delivered a broad set of 1001 Inventions themed STEM activities. The team ensured COVID-19 protective measures are in place at each session, so everyone enjoys their experience safely. They also helped raise children’s awareness about the importance of regular hand washing, wearing masks and keeping distances to protect their health beyond these educational events.
Children were totally inspired with their surroundings as sessions were organised at the Maq’ad of Sultan Qaitbey (MASQ). This historic complex, built-in 15th-century in Cairo’s ‘City of the Dead’ has been restored by ARCHiNOS Architecture for adaptive reuse with the support of the European Union and the Drosos Foundation. The restoration is coupled with cultural and social development activities, by ARCHiNOS and the Sultan Foundation, in support of the underprivileged communities living in this area. In addition to empowerment and job creation, these long-term social and economic measures help sustain the preservation work of these centuries-old monuments.
With the support of Al Alfi Foundation, children will continue their learning journey beyond these sessions with each of them receiving their very own copy of the Arabic version of the “1001 Inventions & Awesome Facts from Muslim Civilization” book, published in partnership with National Geographic Kids.
