Egypt’s Grand Egyptian Museum hosts the 1st Lego League with the participation of more than 400 students

 

 

 

More than 400 students from 9 Egyptian governorates let their imaginations run wild and participated in the first Lego League Discover Championship at the Grand Egyptian Museum.

 

 

 

 

The four to six-years-old innovators created solution models with the theme of energy preservation, in hopes to qualify and represent Egypt in the first Lego League World Festival in the US.

 

 

Colored building blocks have been piling up at the Grand Egyptian Museum to build different kinds of wonders.

 

 

The first Lego League was organized in line with the GEM’s mission to celebrate creativity, inspire innovation, and promote sustainability, especially among youth.

 

 

 

It is worth mentioning that the Grand Egyptian Museum hosted its first group of students at the Children’s Museum.

It was heartwarming to see the Museum come to life with these children who were fascinated by everything they saw and learned about their ancestors and the extraordinary ancient Egyptian civilization.

 

Instilling pride and curiosity from a young age is extremely important as these students were given a great opportunity to explore their history in a fun and dynamic way.

 

 

The Grand Egyptian Museum announced that it will start hosting some special events and activities and receive limited visits in some sections and areas inside the museum, as part of launching the trial operation period.

The date of the official launching will be announced later.

 

 

The entire world is highly anticipating the official launch of the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is expected to be inaugurated later this year.

 

 

 

 

The Grand Egyptian Museum will house more than 50,000 artifacts including all the personal belongings of the Golden King Tutankhamun, all gathered for the first time in one place.

 

 

 

 

In addition, visitors will enjoy numerous displays for the first time in Egypt and the world, including the Great Staircase, the Hanging Obelisk, Khufu’s second Solar Ship, among others.

 

 

 

 

The Grand Egyptian Museum is located only 2 kilometers away from the Giza pyramid complex and is the largest archaeological museum worldwide. The museum lies over an area of around 500,000 square meters.
