Scienceworks has announced its exciting new exhibition, which focuses on the science behind light.
Illuminate: How Science Comes to Light opens on May 14, and utilises hands-on, interactive play to educate curious minds on what exactly light is, how we see it and what we can do with it.
The exhibition explores visual perception and illumination through colour, sound and action.
Participants will learn how light behaves, where it comes from, how it reflects and refracts and what tools have been invented to try and understand it.
Children will get the opportunity to manipulate mirrors and engage with a series of warped reflections, and well as dance to the beats of an invisible laser sensor chamber.
Minister for Creative Industries Danny Pearson said there was no better way to learn about science than through hands-on activities, which is exactly what Scienceworks’ new exhibition offers.
“The exhibition will light up curious minds of all ages and adds to the exciting new experiences across our museums this year.”
Illuminate: How Science Comes to Light will run until July 2023, with tickets on sale now.
