Space is Infinite And So Are #ColgateMagicalStories By #Children

Hi Guys,

Moon and Stars are the first attraction that I was fascinated towards in my childhood. Some stars used to bright more and some less, some used to create a pattern and some didn't. Sometimes some of them used to move around the same time which later I came to know as satellites sent to space by humans. But always the world of SPACE was filled with never ending questions and curiosity to know more and more.

My daughter too is fascinated by the Magical Space and various adventures that comes with these. Starting from the basics of planets and Milky Way Galaxy, she always has a lot of questions. We then go and find out all the answers to those queries on the internet as with each of her new question, I too learn new things. 

Colgate has come up with three packs of "Magical Space Adventure" where it have given every buyer a unique experience to create more than 15 space characters from the packaging of toothpaste. The kids and adults alike can cut those pieces and create any story they are fascinated about. The story can be anything from mystical Alien Planet to Zero Gravity Space Walk to further magical world of dreams and fascinations.

My daughter is fascinated by the recent movies on space travel including The Martian so she was more inclined towards the space walking and floating in the spaceship. But before that her query was how we reach the stars and how much time it takes? She was thinking that it will be just like going to nearest burger joint or maximum to her grand mother's home and she can be back home in no time. Never she could think that it's a huge effort and lot of science that goes into getting to space.

It took a while for her to understand that it's not like car travel and it will require a lot of patience to learn more about stars before we can actually be there. Still science has not solved all the queries which an adult mind has too. But in her own world and on her study table, she has decorated all the characters cut from the empty packs of Colgate. I know she will be fascinated by something else soon but from time to time, she will come back to flashing twinkling little stars again and again.

You too checkout these Magical Space Adventure packs and let your child weave their own story and create a magical life full of dreams. We never know when the inspirations from Kalpana Chawla or Sunita Williams can hit our child and they do aspire to reach for the sky too! Check out more - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op995I4Rh7A

Sandton Convention Centre Hosts #GatewayToSpace #Exhibition @SandtonEvents

Hi Guys,

The Gateway to Space: The Exhibition, running at Sandton Convention Centre through June and July, is the biggest exhibition to be hosted in South Africa and is delighting young and older visitors with its amazing selection of 60 space exhibits.

“Sandton Convention Centre is proud to be the home of long-running exhibitions of this size and calibre in South Africa,” says Debra de Sousa, Operations Manager at Sandton Convention Centre. Last year the venue hosted the Ice Age exhibition, a huge 3 000m2 display of 45 life-sized moving animals and 12 different scenes that document the 27th Ice Age period and ran for seven weeks to 8 August, and in 2014, the massive 3 600m2 Days of the Dinosaur exhibition was held at the Sandton Convention Centre for 31 days. It was a phenomenal success that broke international ticket sales records for the show, and was the first and biggest interactive dinosaur exhibition of its kind in the country – featuring 45 life-sized dinosaurs in 12 scenes, as well as two skeletons and seven dinosaurs in the animatronic interactive area.

The Gateway to Space exhibition, organised by Media24’s Huisgenoot, YOU and Drum magazines, was assembled by the US Space & Rocket Centre, an official NASA Visitor Centre, and shipped in 20 containers from Budapest, Hungary, where it was last on display. It delivers an amazing space experience that includes a look inside the 15m life-size model of the Mir space station, a Sputnik 1 model, a full-size lunar rover model, an Apollo capsule design for future space exploration, a chance to touch the moon, see 55 other exciting space exhibits, such as a glimpse of a scale-model space toilet, and much more.

In addition, in South Africa the Gateway to Space also features an exhibit that focuses on the South African space sector and highlights astronomy as well as space science and technology. The Department of Science and Technology, along with organisations such as the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory, Southern African Large Telescope, SA National Space Agency, Square Kilometre Array Project (SKA), Cape Peninsula University of Technology and Denel Spaceteq, is exhibiting a collection of artefacts that depict success stories in this field. According to SA Techie blog, “… if you like space at all, you have to make time to see it.”

“We’re delighted to have proved our capacity and capability to host these world-renowned, exciting and educational exhibitions that attract such huge audiences, particularly school children,” says De Sousa. Pre-bookings by schools for Gateway to Space had reached 20 000 children before the exhibition opened.

“We’re equipped to cope with the huge onslaught of eager visitors with tickets for specific staggered time slots for visitors to walk around the exhibition, ensuring smooth flow throughout the exhibition,” she says, adding that Sandton Convention Centre’s very close proximity to the Gautrain, to Sandton City and other leading malls and hotels adds to the appeal for families making a full day or even a night out when visiting the exhibition.
