Sharing Happiness for Society –
Transferring Knowledge and Developing Scientific Skills for the Nation’s Youth, 2025
Faculty of Science, Burapha University, Contributes to the Royal Initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn through the “Baby Science Camp” CSR Activity under the Concept “Beyond the Textbook: Love Biology, Care for the Environment – CO₂ Awareness”
The Faculty of Science, Burapha University, has joined in responding to the royal initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn by collaborating with the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST) to organize a CSR activity titled “Sharing Happiness for Society.” This initiative aims to transfer knowledge and enhance science-related skills among Thai youth, as part of the “Thailand Children’s University Project.”
The year 2025 marks three significant milestones: the auspicious occasion of Her Royal Highness’s 70th birthday; the 12th anniversary of the “Thailand Children’s University Project”; and the 70th anniversary of the founding of Burapha University. To commemorate these events, the Faculty of Science has launched the CSR initiative to share scientific knowledge and promote skill development among young learners through the “Baby Science Camp” under the theme “Beyond the Textbook: Love Biology, Care for the Environment”, with a focus on CO₂ Awareness. The event was held on April 27, 2025, at the Basic Laboratory and Scientific Instrumentation Center, Faculty of Science, Burapha University, and welcomed 70 students from upper primary and lower secondary school levels.
The “Baby Science Camp” was designed to promote inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all youth (SDG 4), while equipping them to be key contributors to sustainable social and national development aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The camp activities aimed to instill systematic scientific thinking, enhance observation, questioning, and self-discovery skills, all under the guidance of experts from the Faculty of Science. Additionally, it emphasized environmental awareness and adaptability in the face of global environmental changes (SDG 13), and encouraged responsible and sustainable use and protection of terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric ecosystems (SDG 14 and SDG 15).
The activity, titled “Beyond the Textbook: Love Biology, Care for the Environment – CO₂ Awareness”, aimed to educate and raise awareness among youth about carbon dioxide (CO₂), both in terms of its usefulness and its environmental impacts. Students participated in hands-on scientific experiments and creatively engaged with a wide range of scientific knowledge through activities such as:Balloon Blowing with Yeast, Confident Mask,
The Marvelous Gas: The World of CO₂, Life in the Ocean under the Shadow of Carbon, Cutting Carbon by Sorting Waste, Tree Planting to Heal the Planet
