We envisioned a space where they could truly immerse themselves in both the theoretical and hands-on aspects of these subjects. Productive discussions with the Ministry of Science and Technology led us to agree on establishing Science and Botany Park. A contract was signed on August 7, 2020, between the Ministry of Science and Technology and Atlantic International Group Sole Co., Ltd. When the Ministry of Science and Technology dissolved, the contract was transferred to the Ministry of Education and Sport.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9704572 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9704572\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0229041 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0229041\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/scienceandbotanypark.org.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-27-at-13.51.31_f5f6ff63-768x1152.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-1299\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scienceandbotanypark.org.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-27-at-13.51.31_f5f6ff63-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scienceandbotanypark.org.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-27-at-13.51.31_f5f6ff63-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scienceandbotanypark.org.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-27-at-13.51.31_f5f6ff63-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/scienceandbotanypark.org.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-27-at-13.51.31_f5f6ff63-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/scienceandbotanypark.org.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-27-at-13.51.31_f5f6ff63.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe80f57 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fe80f57\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3096cdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3096cdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px; text-align: var(--text-align);\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Construction began in 2019, and by the end of 2023, we&#8217;d made incredible progress. We&#8217;ve completed most of the major structures, including a 104-person planetarium and an observatory that both host public viewing sessions periodically. On the botany front, we&#8217;ve been planting a wide variety of vegetables, plants, and trees. As we head onward, we&#8217;re planning to expand our collection with local herbs and trees from different regions. This will create a fantastic resource for anyone interested in studying or researching botany.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Fredoka, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: var(--text-align);\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Fredoka, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: var(--text-align);\">\u00a0<\/span>Our main goals for Science and Botany Park are to create a vibrant hub for young people, students, science enthusiasts, and tourists.
