Last week was full of exciting highlights in Atlanterhavsparken 🌊🐟 💙 We had the honor of hosting the official opening of the Ålesund Seafood Festival! 🎉🐟 A fantastic day, and as a fun ending we surprised with a cooking competition between politicians Geir Inge Lien (SP), Anne Marie Fiksdal (FrP), Monica Molvær (Høyre), and State Secretary Even Sagebakken (Ap)! In the end, it was the latter who came away with the victory and made the best fish burger 🏆🍔 💙 On Friday and Saturday, we organized the Children's Seafood Festival together with Ålesund Library and Sentrumsforeningen 😍📚 On Saturday, we were visited by a total of 73 children (!!) and their curious parents, who got to experience an exciting dissection of cod with our expert Maria. On Friday, we also had the pleasure of welcoming 50 kindergarten children! 🐟✨ 💙 Marthe, who runs "Men with fish on Tinder", took a deeper look at what really makes fish so cool. Together, she and Lars investigated why so many men choose to post fish pictures on Tinder - an entertaining and educational day! 🐠😄 💙 Joakim and Cathrin were in Bodø for the Nordic Travel Workshop, where they met tour operators from all over the world, and made important contacts and collaboration opportunities. We have an exciting time ahead! 🌍✈️ 💙 Heidi and Trond have been on a trip to Tromsø for the annual meeting of the Science Center Association together with the 12 other regional science centers in Norway. There they also got a tour of Polaria, and learned more about Arctic wildlife and the marine environment. Great inspiration to further develop our own communication ❄️🐧 💙 We had a fantastic day with the 7th graders who got to participate in feeding on islets and reefs 🦑🌊 💙 We also started Plastic and Sea Day, where the 7th graders got to participate in Lydlab. The students got to try their hand as both music producers and marketers for an hour! 🎶💻 💙 We have had high school students visit for an educational fish dissection with Lars 🧬🐟 💙 Our CEO, Kjetil Aarseth, was at the meeting of the European Association of Zoological Gardens and Aquariums - EAZA. The collection was added to Valencia, which has Europe's largest aquarium! 🤩 Aarseth was elected to the organization's council as one of only 40 representatives!

🌟 Exciting times for the Science Center 🌟 The Science Team has been in Trondheim to work closely with our mentors at the Science Center there, who are assisting us in the development of our new talent center! 🤩 The Talent Center will be an offer for students with high learning potential and is an important measure to prevent school dropout. Here, young people who think outside the box will be able to meet each other and participate in adapted teaching programs - an important social and educational platform for those who may fall outside for various reasons ❤️ We have had planning meetings, participated in teacher training courses and met schools that have already started similar learning programs. We also got to visit the Newton Room and NTNU's chemistry laboratories at Cecilie's old workplace, and got lots of inspiration for a new chemistry program with us 🧪🔬⚗️ In addition, we explored the planetarium and got lots of inspiration for future exhibitions and learning programs at Atlanterhavsparken !

Fascinating to see how they work with the aquarium there! 🎙️ Cecilie was a guest on NRK Radio in the program "Abel's Tower" at Parken Kulturhus. Fantastically delivered! Photo: Eli Anne Tvergrov / NTNU 🔬💡 Maria had kindergarten children on a dissection at Havlab, with both film and our cool black light flashlights.
