Sixty students aged between 9 and 11, participated in a two-days, one-night Exploration Camp organised by the Seria Oil and Gas Discovery Centre (OGDC).

The Exploration Camp, which commenced yesterday morning, will end today with a special prize and certificate presentation for the students' exemplary leadership quality, outstanding creativity and talent. Participants who displayed creativity and gave the best performance on assigned projects would also be presented with prizes.

The Exploration Camp, organised during the school holiday, aimed to inculcate young children with a love of science through play and exploration. Children mostly from the Belait District participated in the camp.

During the ice-breaking session, the "Young Explorers" were asked to name their own team, design a flag or logo and elect leaders to present the interpretation of the logo. A puppet-show competition and a technology challenge were scheduled as part of the night activities. Previous exploration camps have managed to create interest and knowledge among participants in the field of science.

The participants were also exposed to leadership skills and the importance of teamwork as well as discussion, planning and executing skills.
