2. Dialogue with Time: Embrace Ageing
Science Centre Singapore (SCS) and the Ministry of Health have collaborated to bring guests through their interactive exhibition, Dialogue with Time – Embrace Ageing.
The all-new interactive exhibition brings attention to a natural process — ageing. Through dialogues with the senior guides and hands-on experiences on how our senses may be like at old age, this exhibition promises to set you thinking.
In addition, learn about how cell repair becomes less effective with age and how ageing affects the bones, joints, muscles and blood pressure.
Want to see what you and the kids will look like in years to come? Check out the super cool Ageing Booth to see what older YOU will look like.
This is also the first fully-guided exhibition by Science Centre Singapore facilitated by 32 senior guides aged between 65 and 85 years old.
