From constructing a skeleton to building a skyscraper and finding out how an AI-powered robot could help you in a search and rescue mission, there's something for everyone!

Explore the universe in the immersive touring Planetarium, try your hand at creating music in virtual reality and find out if you're smarter than a crow. Design the cities of the future and find out what it's like to be part of our emergency services.

Fun hands-on science and engineering with CSES

Activities for all the family! Have a go at the egg drop challenge. Build a structure out of paper and test to destruction. Enter the weird world of electromagnetism. Test your balance skills with our toppling towers and find out why things do (or don’t) fall over.
