MV/9339: Project X covers two new exhibitions for Scienceworks –the first to immerse young children in an imaginative world of sensory discovery and construction‐play that will ignite their lifelong engagement with science, technology, engineering and maths (to open December 2017), and the second an Immersive experience for young adults, to explore imperceptible worlds of invisible waveforms (to open late March 2018).
