EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE FESTIVAL 1-16 APRIL SCIENCEFESTIVAL.CO.UK

Scotland’s capital city is set to become a hive of science-themed activity this April, with the return of the Edinburgh International Science Festival. The theme of this year’s festival is ‘get connected’, and there are more than 250 events lined up for children and adults.

The City Art Centre will be transformed into a science playground, offering families the chance to create their own coral creatures, build humanity’s first Mars colony, and design their own slime. Meanwhile there are other happenings across the city, from science theatre and brand new exhibitions to a hands-on Experimentarium and a gig from sample-tastic space-pop pioneers Public Service Broadcasting.
