On 10 January 2026, NXPO participated in the “MHESI For Kids” event held in celebration of National Children’s Day 2026. The event was organized by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) and presided over by Mr. Surasak Phancharoenworakul, Minister of MHESI.

Following the opening ceremony, Dr. Surachai Sathitkunarat, President of NXPO, introduced Minister Surasak to the NXPO booth, which featured the “Artist Playground” activities. The initiative provided a creative space for children to decorate canvas tote bags, encouraging them to transform their imagination into inspiration for future careers. The activity also aimed to raise environmental awareness by promoting the use of reusable cloth bags as an alternative to single-use plastic bags.

In addition to the activities at the MHESI Headquarters in Bangkok, the “MHESI For Kids” event was held simultaneously at multiple venues nationwide. These included Princess Sirindhorn AstroPark in Chiang Mai; the Chalermprakiat Observatories in Chachoengsao, Khon Kaen, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Songkhla; the Synchrotron Light Research Institute in Nakhon Ratchasima; as well as more than 40 higher education institutions across the country.
