Half a year has now passed since the National Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia (MNACTEC) launched one of its most innovative projects: the MNACTEC Bus. This is an interactive, technological space, inviting the public to journey into the past, present and future of our society, diving into an innovative exploration of such topics as technological progress, energy transition, culture, transport and industrial heritage.
The aim of the project is to promote a new way of spreading scientific and technological knowledge among younger generations, with innovative formats, participatory experiences and a perspective of environmental sustainability, with a distinctly social approach. The project is also intended to bring the MNACTEC to people in more distant areas, prioritising towns in rural Catalonia.
In its travels around Catalonia during these past months, the MNACTEC Bus has already made 52 stops in 18 districts. Most of the places visited (69%) are small municipalities with a population of under 5,000.
