Would you like to carry out intensive research? Would you love to explore more in science and know how to create new ideas about nature? ASCO, promoted by the Vatican Pontifical Council for Culture for International University and Youth Collaboration with Africa in Informal Science learning activities for the development of sustainable modern science culture, is the answer. This was lived recently during the visit by sStudents to the Assumpta science center Ofekata- Owerri (ASCO) on 7th January 2020 at 3:15 pm at ASCO temporary site, now its Outpost in Owerri city center. The students were four in number from different schools within the axis of Owerri. These were students that came for the 2019 ASCO Christmas science lecture held as usual, on 28th December, and were amazed with what they saw and heard, so they came back to the center to learn more and do some practical’s.
