STEM Zone & Makerspace

Bringing ideas to life

STEM Zone

At Science Space, our immersive STEM Zone is designed to inspire curiosity and spark learning through hands-on exploration. Ideal for school groups, holiday camps, after-school programs, or birthday parties, this dynamic space engages young minds in exciting activities. From exploring emerging technologies and conducting fascinating experiments to tackling problem-solving challenges, the STEM Zone nurtures creativity and a love for discovery at every turn.

Makerspace

We’re thrilled to introduce our upcoming Makerspace, a creative hub that will soon be open to the community. Outfitted with an array of tools and technologies, the Makerspace will offer endless opportunities for invention, collaboration, and innovation. Whether you’re a budding engineer, an artist, or just eager to explore, this space will be perfect for bringing ideas to life.

Food & drink

Fuel your journey of discovery

While Science Space doesn’t have an on-site café, nearby options at the Innovation Campus just a short walk away. Piccolo Me is open on weekends. 

Feel free to bring your own food and enjoy a picnic in our beautiful, landscaped gardens. With plenty of shaded and open-air seating, it’s the perfect place to relax and recharge.

For a quick refreshment, you’ll find a water bottle refill station in our outdoor area and a vending machine with a selection of snacks and drinks—ideal for a quick boost between activities.
