Science Days
Bethlehem University Science Days, run by the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Technology and Engineering at Bethlehem University, is a five-day event featuring entertaining and engaging events across various science disciplines. Some events will be targeted at school students, others at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Technology and Engineering students. Every department will organize a set of activities. We aim for a programme of events that is varied and fun.
For events targeting school students, BU Science Days seek to widen the students’ scope by introducing them to an exciting topic while engaging them in the activity. The goal is to stimulate students’ critical thinking. In addition, students will also be briefed (10 minutes) on the different majors offered by the Science Faculty prior to any event. Although invitations will be sent out to schools, we are not expecting entire classes, interested students should RSVP to the event and come to BU to join the event.
