WATCH THE ANIMATED LECTURE:    • Prof. Jim Al-Khalili presents - 1001 ...  

Ahmed Salim introduces “1001 Inventions: Journeys from Alchemy to Chemistry” as a new public engagement with science initiative produced by 1001 Inventions in partnership with UNESCO to celebrate the United Nations proclaimed International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (IYPT2019).

Through a short animation video narrated by Professor Jim Al-Khalili, renowned scientist, author and broadcaster, immersive on-stage experiments weaved in a theatrical performance as well as exciting hands-on workshops and educational resources children are introduced to the fascinating journey from alchemy to chemistry, across ages, by lesser-known pioneers from ancient cultures and civilisations that still influence our world today.

This first-of-its-kind initiative helps young people improve their understanding of chemistry and its numerous uses. It brings to life stories from the history of science by remarkable men and women from different backgrounds and cultures with a focus on the remarkable work of the pioneering polymath Jabir ibn Hayyan, also known as Geber, in the 8th century.

The initiative launched at UNESCO headquarters in Paris in January 2019 now rolls out on a global tour in partnership with museums, science centres, festivals, schools, universities and libraries engaging young people around the world to raise awareness of the importance of chemistry and its applications, inspire a future generation of scientists while promoting diversity and intercultural appreciation.

Celebrate IYPT2019 and bring “1001 Inventions: Journeys from Alchemy to Chemistry” to your venues and events to offer audiences a wondrous journey full of fun and learning through a range of engaging science and cultural experiences.
