There was a high turnout by VIP guests and students for MathAlive!, an interactive math and science exhibit created by the Raytheon Company, at a special opening ceremony held at King Saud University (KSU).
The innovative traveling exhibition opened to the public on Sunday (Oct. 2).
The exhibition’s debut in Riyadh will run through the month of October, and its Kingdom tour is part of Raytheon’s ongoing commemoration of its 50th anniversary in Saudi Arabia.
MathAlive!’s opening ceremony was attended by Abdullah S. Al-Salman, vice rector, KSU, and Raytheon International’s Saudi Arabia president Kurt Amend.
Other special guests included Ahmed Al-Aameri, vice rector for graduate studies and scientific research, KSU; Nasser M. Al-Daghri, dean, College of Science, KSU; Abdur Rehman Al-Zamil of Zamil Group; and Yousaf Abu Hussain, manager of Ministry of Education’s scientific activities office, Riyadh Region, in addition to a number of college deans and department heads at KSU and a number of students from major Riyadh-based schools.
MathAlive! offers many interactive modules that demonstrate the relationship between STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and activities such as building design, football, space travel, video games and more — bringing math and science to life for late primary and early secondary school students.
The exhibit includes historical achievements of Arab mathematicians who are recognized as STEM pioneers and innovators.
