Science and art come together as the Mind Rover travels all over the Philippines, in this partnership between The Mind Museum and 2GO

To bring learning experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) to children across the Philippines, the Mind Museum partnered with logistics solutions provider 2GO to launch the Mind Rover. This custom-built museum bus is equipped with interactive science and art exhibits and aims to teach kids the wonders of astronomy, anatomy, chemistry and more. Reinforcing the Bonifacio Art Foundation’s commitment to sustainability, the bus is also outfitted with solar panels to power every amenity.

As a beacon of hope and learning, the Mind Rover visits communities all over our archipelago by boat—with its first stop being in Bacolod. Every journey attracts hundreds of public school student beneficiaries giving them immersive experiences such as hands-on exhibits, interactive science shows, and workshops.

“Our futures require a flipping of the way we learn as well as the modes of powering the facilities that help us learn. The Mind Rover's exhibits also include very unique, clear, hands-on exhibits on how our planet works and how it responds to human activities such as the climate crisis,” says Tony Reoganis, chairman of 2GO LMC.

With 2GO operating in 19 ports across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao and the Mind Museum hoping to promote inspired learning for all Filipinos, the Mind Rover opens the door for young students to find their calling—whether that be in science or the arts.

“At 2GO, we are driven by the belief that our islands are connected by water, not separated by it. We transport people and goods across the national waters that define our archipelago. Partnering with The Mind Museum to bring the Mind Rover to provinces across the Philippines—one island at a time—represents our shared passion in inspiring and enriching the minds of our youth,” says Ethel Concepcion, 2GO group head of Corporate Marketing.
