The event is designed to inspire curiosity and excitement around science through hands-on, interactive activities, and is most suitable for children aged 5–12, though all ages are welcome.

With over 70 drop-in activities, families can explore science together in a relaxed and engaging environment. On the day, visitors can enjoy:

• Hands-on science activities led by real scientists, researchers, and students.
• Live science shows and demonstrations throughout the day.
• Interactive workshops covering topics such as psychology, medicine, engineering, robotics, coding, nutrition, and more.
• STEM games and challenges, with prizes to be won.

The Science Bazaar is a great opportunity for children to experience science outside the classroom, ask questions, and see how science connects to everyday life and future careers.
