On 31 January, 2016, “Live Science” launched at Mushrif Central Park in Abu Dhabi. The event welcomes the UAE youth to discover and learn about aerospace, science and technology innovations and runs until 5 March, 2016.
“Live Science” combines Boeing’s Above and Beyond interactive science exhibition, exploring transformative innovations in aerospace, and a series of workshops presented by “lema?”, the informal science education programme, organized by Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee (TDC) and held under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan bin Mohamed Al Nahyan, wife of the Ruler’s Representative in the Western Region.

The upcoming INNOVATOR Show runs from 3 – 4 March at the Abu Dhabi Corniche, East Plaza and will bring together UAE-based talented individuals – DIYers (tinkerers, tech enthusiasts, do-it-yourself builders, crafters, car tuners, IT programmers and designers) who have the opportunity to showcase their remarkable projects and innovations covering a wide spectrum of science, technology, design and arts.
