He states that if the children experience such exposures at an early age, it is possible to provide them with a trigger of sorts that will help them build their lives and future. He also added that the children may not understand most of the concepts that have been put on display which will become memories and sometimes the triggers that will help them have a spark in their hearts for the field of science.
