This Easter the Science Festival is back in Edinburgh with events, activities and workshops for all ages, giving you the chance to get hands-on with science. From 9-22 April, you can discover the world’s natural wonder, stake out a computer-generated monster and delve into the workings of the human body at inspiring venues across Edinburgh.

All seven floors of the festival’s flagship family venue, City Art Centre, will be packed with interactive activities and drop-in events. From magical storytelling for your youngest explorers to robot-building workshops for the computer programmers of the future, you’ll find something for everyone.

This year is the International Year of Chemistry, and to celebrate the Science Festival have designed a brand new event – Atomise. Taking place in the John Hope Gateway at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Atomise is alive with experiments, demonstrating the amazing results of chemistry in action. Featuring hands-on, make and take workshops, shows, exhibitions and demonstrations, Atomise is a day out full of fizz and fascination.

There are spectacular workshops at Edinburgh Zoo; interactive events at the National Museums and Adam House and a brand new partnership with the Scottish Storytelling Centre, all part of a programme offering diverse interpretations of science for families and adults.
