Scienceworks in Spotswood are hosting a jam-packed school holiday schedule to keep kids and families entertained over this winter break.

There is no need for waiting as most programs began prior to the first week of school holidays on Saturday, June 24 including Cardboard City Crafters where kids can build a cardboard city.
All events will finish up with the very last day of the break on Sunday, July 9, like the Colour Combo Show which is described as a colourful demonstration free 20-minute live show held at the amphitheatre.
Planetarium shows are also running, the program will show, Tycho Goes to Mars, Solar System Odyssey, Starlight and Ticket to the Universe.
Scienceworks is also working with Deakin University on a science project to research connections between how people move, engage in physical activity and cognitive function.
The program will also feature a 30-minute live science show, called Illuminate: How Science Comes to Light.
FlushBack is a new AR adventure which brings to life the rich history of the heritage-listed Spotswood Pumping Station, recommended for ages 8+.
Pumping Station is another program related to the Spotswood Pumping Station, where kids can hear some of the smelly stories from the pumping station straining well and explore the engine room to discover the engineering feat that helped overcome the stench of 19th century Melbourne in the daily Pumping Station tours.
Collection Store Tours will let kids go on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Scienceworks Collection Store to see some of the 40,000 collection items stored at Scienceworks and listen to the stories of these rare and unique objects.
