2GO, the Philippines’ leading logistics and sea travel provider, has once again teamed up with The Mind Museum to deliver a one-of-a-kind learning experience—this time bringing the Mind Rover all the way to Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Continuing their mission to spark curiosity across the islands, the latest leg of this exciting partnership made science come alive at sea. Passengers aboard MV 2GO St. Francis Xavier, en route from Manila to Puerto Princesa and Coron, enjoyed a weekend of interactive, science-themed activities curated by The Mind Museum. Designed to bring STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education beyond the classroom, these activities transformed sea travel into an enriching journey for both kids and adults.
Turning Travel into Discovery
By merging logistics with learning, the collaboration isn’t just moving people and cargo—it’s moving minds.
“We’re thrilled to partner once again with 2GO,” said Maria Isabel Garcia, Managing Director and Curator of The Mind Museum. “Without their direct sea routes, bringing the Mind Rover to many provinces would be logistically difficult or time-consuming. Thanks to 2GO, we can reach more communities faster—and even bring science shows aboard their ships! Through this partnership, we hope to inspire more kids to view science with wonder, and maybe even pursue STEM careers.”
Now on its third major voyage—following successful runs in Bacolod and General Santos—the Mind Rover continues its journey across the country, turning every destination into a launchpad for imagination and innovation.
Science Onboard: A Unique Learning Experience
As part of the Puerto Princesa launch, the onboard science sessions gave passengers an immersive sneak peek at the Mind Rover, a 12-meter museum-on-wheels filled with interactive exhibits, hands-on experiments, and live demonstrations.
“We are honored to bring science closer to Filipino families through this unique sea travel experience,” said Francis Chua, Business Unit Head of 2GO Travel. “Our partnership with The Mind Museum transforms our ships into floating classrooms—encouraging guests to explore themes like sustainability, marine science, and innovation while in transit. It’s a new way to appreciate sea travel—and the oceans that connect us.”
A Voyage Fueled by Curiosity and Connection
The Mind Rover’s stop in Puerto Princesa is part of a growing series of island science activations, aimed at reaching underserved communities with high-impact learning. For 2GO, which operates across 19 major ports nationwide, the partnership reflects a deeper commitment to nation-building—using its network not just to move goods, but to connect people with knowledge, creativity, and opportunity.
Together, 2GO and The Mind Museum are proving that science can sail, and that purposeful partnerships can turn every journey into a chance to learn something new.
