Discover Science with the University
Come and discover science for yourself with a series of fantastic hands-on science activities for the whole family.
‘Discover Science with the University of Edinburgh at the Museum’ runs from 26 March to 4 April at the National Museum of Scotland.
Part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival, our events include drop-in activities, workshops and shows covering a range of science subjects.
There's something for everyone, and much of it is free!
The Science Festival website has full details of all University shows and booking information.
What's on?
Science Festival favourite, Dr Bunhead, will be back, creating chaos as usual with his Crash Test Jelly Babies show.
Or come meet our staff and students and discover:
- how seeds grow into plants
- how insect and human eyes work
- why the Chairman of IBM was so wrong about computers
- what we need to eat to make a perfect poo
The museum will also play host to Show Science, a series of talks by Museum curators on everything from archaeology to zoology. All ages are welcome.
These are just some of the activities available - see the Science Festival website for full details of all University shows.
