Scienceworks’ Science is a Superpower Festival is back on September 13 and 14, packing two days with hands-on science, live demos and mind-blowing experiments designed to spark the STEM superhero in every visitor, from curious kids to lifelong learners.
Begin your journey with calmness, enjoying guided meditation in the Melbourne Planetarium under stunning wildlife imagery, before creating a unique artwork on the Scienceworks harmonograph. Channel your inner sports star in Sportsworks, race against Cathy Freeman, leap for height, or save goals like a champion.
Curiosity takes the lead in Think Ahead, where you can ask experts your most puzzling questions and imagine the future. Kindness shines in the Energy Lab, where visitors can add their creations to the Wall of Kindness.
Feel the raw power of electricity in the Lightning Theatre, then put your energy to the test with engineering challenges from the Robogals Team. Ingenuity rolls in at the Arena, as the Monash Nova Rover Team’s Banksia robot roves the grounds.
Test your senses in Beyond Perception then head to Tinkertown with Engineers Australia to construct clever solutions from everyday materials.
Finally, grow your resilience in the STEM Lab with the Plants for Space team, discovering how to grow greens in the most unlikely places – even outer space!
Originally created to encourage tween girls and non-binary children to engage with STEM, the Science is a Superpower Festival now welcomes all visitors for an inclusive weekend of learning, play and possibility.
