Science Alive! is back and ready to captivate Adelaide this winter, with an epic lineup of interactive exhibits and engaging activities across a jam-packed weekend. Designed to inspire the next generation of scientists and technologists, the event will be held at the Adelaide Showground and is calling all future scientists and science lovers to head on down.
Kicking off on Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd from 9am to 5pm, Science Alive! It will be an educational adventure for all ages, and following a sell-out show last year, we’re sure it’ll be a popular one.
This year’s exhibition surpasses previous ones with over 80 interactive exhibits and a line-up of explosive live shows. Attendees can even join TV science communicator Nitro Nat to dive into the thrilling world of exploding elephant toothpaste and other chemistry curiosities.
One of the new attractions for this year is Adelaide’s first immersive 360-degree projection dome, named Dome360. This cutting-edge feature offers visitors an impressive visual experience with full-surround science and space-themed content.
Adding to the excitement, the event will feature live Robot Wars battles and a mix of virtual reality experiences and drone flying displays. For those interested in Australia’s defence and technological advancements, Dr. William Sullivan, a Defence and Space STEM ambassador, will be on deck to discuss the key role science plays in national development.
The exhibition isn’t just about high-energy shows and advanced technology. It also offers hands-on activities with institutions including OzHarvest, SA Museum, and Lockheed Martin Australia. These exhibits will cover a broad range of topics, including food sustainability, environmental issues, and the science behind sport and performance.
For those keen on science and technology, or simply looking for the perfect family outing, Science Alive! combines entertainment with education, making it a must-visit event this August. Tickets for Science Alive! are now available, with free admission for children under 3. Given the popularity of last year’s event, getting in early is recommended.
