Exciting Easter Workshops at Science Festival 2025
The Edinburgh Science Festival began 35 years ago as the world’s first public celebration of science and technology as a Festival, and continues to take places annually over the Easter holidays.
Celebrating the wonders of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), the Festival programme includes explosive shows and hands-on activities for families and engaging talks and immersive experiences for adults.
This Easter, we’re bringing science to life with a range of exciting activities and workshops for all ages! From electronic upcycling to experimenting with code, there’s something for everyone. Explore nature at the wildlife garden in Edinburgh Zoo, blast off into space at Dynamic Earth or unleash your inner scientist at our flagship event DiscoveryLab.
