How lighting up the ‘dark ages’ with '1001 Inventions from the East' can enrich the teaching of science in our ethnically diverse society. Award-winning educational producer and philanthropist Ahmed Salim shares how millions of educators use ‘1001 Inventions’ freely available materials to enrich the teaching of science, helping learners celebrate diversity, improve inclusion, and inspire further interest in science. These materials, produced by Ahmed Salim, explore the cultural roots of science with a focus on a period known as the ‘Golden Age of Arabic Science’. They include short films (featuring Oscar winner Sir Ben Kingsley, the legendary Omar Sharif, and scientist Professor Jim Al-Khalili), live science theatre shows, school science fairs, and extensive hands-on workshop guides, along with impact evaluation methods.
