Astro busAstro bus
Thanks to Al Katira, the Tunis Science City astro bus, science goes off-site. It tours all year round many parts of Tunisia even the remotest ones, in order to bring science to kids who can not, for many reasons, get to the Tunis Science City’s headquarters.
The astro bus attracts children as long as possible locally.
