The fair will include workshops in the different fields of science – from chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics to architecture and archaeology, even robotics and screening, and the organizers will provoke the interest and the curiosity of the visitors with various scientific experiments.

The main participants in the demonstrations will be the students from the Religious School – Momchilgrad themselves, who are preparing under the guidance of their teachers in the relevant fields. Students from different grades will take part in each of the workshops. The only necessary condition for participation is to share a common interest in the relevant scientific field.

The idea for organizing the scientific fair “Dare to know” in Momchilgrad was bornafter the participation of students from the three religious schools in Bulgaria at a similar fair in Turkey this autumn.  

“The idea came exactly from the „Bilim Seyyahlari” Club(“Scientific adventurers”) at the school Kartal Anadolu Imam Hatip Lisesiin Istanbul, which organized the fair in Turkey. For the period of one week while we were there we had learnt a lot from the students of that school, we gained a lot of memories and ideas. After that we decided also to organize such fair in order to provide the opportunity for the people here to see things which cannot be seen every day.” – says enthusiastically about the idea for the fair Mani Kichikova from 12^th grade of Religious School – Momchilgrad.

In connection with the preparation of the grand scientific event in Momchlgrad the 12^th grader shares that it is not so hard because the participants already have the basic scientific knowledge and it is necessary only to apply it. “Of course a certain preparation is required, but we feel ready and happy for being able to show the fruits of science. Our preparation consists only of repeating several times the experiments which we will show to the public, in order to be absolutely sure that they will be explained in the most comprehensive manner” – the student added.
