At Newark, we place a strong emphasis on the significance of science education, recognizing its pivotal role in our daily lives and the broader technological landscape. Science permeates virtually every aspect of our existence, from the mundane tasks of cooking and gardening to understanding complex weather patterns and the principles governing physical phenomena like the motion of objects. Moreover, the advancement of technology, which has become an integral part of modern society, owes much to the contributions of scientists and innovators.

Given the innate curiosity of children and their natural inclination to explore the world around them, fostering an early interest in science and technology is paramount. Their exposure to these subjects during their formative years can significantly shape their future endeavors, whether as medical professionals or pioneers in technological innovation.
