Child University Program at Tanta University Continues Its Activities at the Faculty of Science to Develop Children's Skills in Physics and Its Practical Applications
As part of the implementation of the Child University Program and under the patronage of Prof. Mohamed Hussein, Tanta University President, and the supervision of Prof. Mahmoud Farouk Selim, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, Tanta Faculty of Science welcomed students participating in the program over two consecutive days. Students of the eighth cohort attended on Monday, July 27, 2026, while students of the ninth and tenth cohorts participated on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. The activities formed part of the E1-level training program, which aims to develop children's intellectual and creative abilities, introduce them to the fundamentals of physics and its practical applications in everyday life, and connect scientific concepts with laboratory experiments through an interactive learning environment.
The children and their parents were welcomed by Prof. Abeer Alam Al-Din, Dean of the Faculty of Science; Prof. Zenhom El-Saeed Salem, Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development; Prof. Samir Zaki Qamh, Coordinator of the Child University Program at Tanta University; and Dr. Eman Bakr, Program Coordinator at the Faculty of Science, together with a number of faculty members and teaching assistants, who were keen to provide an educational experience that combined theoretical knowledge with practical application.
The program began with an introductory lecture delivered by Prof. Abeer Alam Al-Din, who presented an overview of the faculty's mission, its various academic departments, and its distinguished academic programs developed to meet the evolving needs of the labor market. She highlighted the faculty's pivotal role as the foundation for many scientific and applied disciplines, a presentation that inspired enthusiastic interaction from the children, who eagerly asked questions to learn more about fields of study and scientific research.
The activities included a series of scientific workshops and practical sessions in the Department of Physics, where the children learned about Newton's laws of motion and their applications in everyday life and industry through simplified explanations delivered by Dr. Ahmed Atlam and Dr. Fatma Al-Zahraa.
The program also included a visit to the Geology Department Museum, where the children explored the history of the Earth, different types of rocks, and fossils. They attended a simplified lecture delivered by Prof. Hamza Khalil, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Geology, who explained the importance of geology and its role in understanding the Earth's history and natural resources, adding a valuable educational dimension to the training program.
Prof. Mahmoud Farouk Selim, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, also toured the training activities at the Faculty of Science, accompanied by Prof. Abeer Alam Al-Din, Prof. Zenhom El-Saeed Salem, Prof. Samir Zaki Qamh, Prof. Mohamed Abdel Wahed, Head of the Department of Geology, and Prof. Ali Abdel Salam, Head of the Department of Physics. During the visit, they observed the scientific workshops and laboratory experiments, assessed the children's understanding of the physical concepts presented, and listened as the participants explained the knowledge and skills they had acquired. Prof. Selim praised the children's enthusiasm and their ability to understand scientific principles and apply them in practice, affirming that the Child University Program is one of Egypt's leading national initiatives for preparing a generation equipped with scientific and creative thinking skills while strengthening children's connection with the university environment from an early age.
