Hands on learning

Our aim is to inspire and nurture scientific curiosity and to encourage hands-on exploration. Through hands-on school programs, such as our challenge workshops, students will have the opportunity to learn science concepts that link to curriculum standards, as well as develop skills in imagination, teamwork and resilience. Our interactive exhibits and tailored planetarium programs also fulfil science curriculum and broader educational outcomes.
