The sponsorship program gives children and young people from socially disadvantaged families and orphanages the chance to experience science, technology and art in a fun way - the focus is very much on encouraging children to touch the exhibits to help get them involved in the wonders of science. Through play and hands-on experience, the children can learn about the human body or witness the functioning of a pig's heart, or they can be transported - with the help of a big screen - to the depths of the ocean, to learn how sea creatures live. The children also have the chance to try out games based on science and technology or on communication and awareness skills. And so that the visitors can try out the Internet, a computer room is available. The
sponsorship program has been promoting the intellectual, emotional
and interpersonal development of the children and helping them mature
for the past seven years. During this time, more than 600,000 children
have visited the museum. Bayer Mexico has provided several thousand
children with transport to and from the venue, as well as leading
guided tours and offering films on the big screen. Mail bags bulging
with children's drawings and thank-you letters are evidence of the
program's success.
