Bahrain Science Centre

Here are some inclusive FAQs about the Bahrain Science Centre.

What is a Science Centre? Globally, Science Centres and interactive museums have taken the lead in hands-on, inquiry-based learning. They focus on promoting discussions and debates while learning, and on deriving explanations, rather than just providing answers, for important scientific discoveries and phenomena. They also endeavour to promote social engagement across generations and cultures as well as an ethos of lifelong learning.

Science Centres are places where construction of meaning takes place, and scientific and technological advances are understood in their appropriate contexts.

How does a Science Centre differ from a museum?One of the main roles of a museum is to make, store, study and display collections of cultural and natural history objects. All their displays are designed from the outset to be educational and they are all available for interaction with the public.

poetryThe Mind Slide

‘’Your children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow.’’

- Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Desperate in this labyrinthWith doors of a luminous tint

Passages structured out of shapeYet also designed for escape

The Darkness quickly hides the LightIts ignorance pervades his sightExpulsions of a damaged mindCorrupt images that will blind

And distance even more apart,The cause of all, his sleepless heart.

His chest like a guitar unstringed,Void of music that it can bring,In his mind’s labyrinth bound,

By ignorance of himself, crowned.Yet his heart still echoes in dreams,

Longs for them to finally meet.For it has many things to say,Of desires and feverish days.So it still suffers and bewails,

Of the day his strong mind was tailed,Before they could be introduced,Living strangers under one roof.

And now, escape from this prison

Heats to feverish obsessionAn escape a necessityRather than a delicacy

With many tainted reflectionsAnd ever so sweet seductions

Life, a game of snakes and lizardsHappiness unreal like wizards

A word inside is mirrored screamsThere is no more air left to breathe

Fearful eyes—Tongueless heart—Sealed soul!A speechless love that needs controlMaybe his parents have some blame,Of their all-grown child’s broken frame.

With his passion and deep feelingPasted firm beneath his foot’s heeling.

Your Ultimate Interview Guide

PRESENTING YOURSELF Arrive early. Wear something smart that will

highlight your personality. Be prepared with some

conversation starters related to some news headlines. Make friends with your

surrounding environment. Warm up. To establish a good beginning, in

a conversation, express with hand gestures and facial expressions. Tell a memorable story about

yourself. Don’t wait until the end of a

conversation to exchange contact information.

It is very common to be nervous during interviews. If you allow yourself to feel nervous, you will do much better. Never be negative. Never talk for more than two minutes continuously.Turn your weakness into strengths. When you are asked a question, think before you answer. A pause before you answer is a trademark of a thoughtful person which is a necessity when working in an organisation.

DO’S AND DONT’S OF AN INTERVIEW Do not wait for the last minute to

find out where the interview location is. Locate the place beforehand so that you are on time the day of the interview. Do your research on what job you

will be interviewing for. Prepare and practise for the interview. Do dress up smartly and

appropriately for the interview. The first impression is the best impression. Do plan to arrive at least ten minutes

early. Late arrival is not an excuse.

Do greet the receptionist or assistant with respect. This is where you start making an effort to impress the interviewers. Do not chew gum during the

interview. Do fill out the job application neatly

and correctly. Do bring extra resumes for the

interview. Do not rely on the resume to sell

the interview. You play a major role in selling yourself to the interviewer. Do greet the interviewer with the

respective title. Do shake hands firmly. Do show enthusiasm in the position

of the company. Do make good eye contact. Do not use poor language while

giving an interview. Do not ever lie. Answer questions

truthfully. Do not answer questions with

a simple yes or no. Explain your answers and give examples wherever necessary. Do not answer cell phones during

an interview. Do show what you can do for the

company.

“Turn your weakness into strengths.”

“Do show enthusiasm in the position of the company.”
