The Experimentarium returns for Science Festival 2019, with some weird, wonderful and cutting-edge science.  Step into our laboratory of hands-on activities and interactive fun for all ages.

Join The Open University, mobility assistance dogs from charity Dogs for Good, and bio-detection dogs from charity Medical Detection Dogs, for a demonstration of cool canine-friendly technologies!

Learn the challenges faced by our furry friends in the working world as you take on their role yourself before watching the professionals at work.

​This is a free drop-in activity for all the family. It is part of the special hands-on science zone running on two days. There is more information on the Edinburgh Festival website

You can access free online learning about Science, Maths and Technology on our OpenLearn website.
