Celebrating Curiosity: Join Dundee Science Centre for British Science Week
British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering, and maths taking place 6 – 15 March — and here at Dundee Science Centre, we’re inviting visitors of all ages to get curious, get hands-on, and get inspired!
Throughout the week, we’ll be hosting a range of small but exciting activities designed to spark imagination and encourage exploration during your visit. Read more about what we’ll have on offer!
🗺️Curiosity Trail
Pick up a trail card at reception and set off on a journey through our exhibition zones!
Each card features four science-themed questions connected to different areas of the centre. Can you discover the answers as you explore?
Once you’ve completed your trail, return your card to reception to receive a special treat for taking part!
💭 Curiosity Wall
What’s the one science question you’ve always wondered about?
Visit our Curiosity Wall and write down your number one science question for others to see. It’s a chance to share the things that fascinate us, puzzle us, and make us want to learn more about the world around us.
Who knows – your question might inspire someone else!
⚡ Curiosity Station
Get hands-on at our Curiosity Station, where visitors can explore big ideas through interactive demonstrations and engaging activities.
You’ll have the opportunity to investigate questions such as:
- How do we get electricity from one place to another?
- Why do we need energy?
- What can we learn from observing creatures?
- Could we live in space?
Our team will be on hand to guide discussions, demonstrate experiments, and help bring these fascinating topics to life.
