ABOUT
You’re Invited to the Curiosity Cube™ Experience!
Join us on Saturday, 16 May, from 10:00 to 15:00 at the Sci-Enza Science Centre for an exciting, hands-on science adventure!
Families are welcome to book for their children to explore the Curiosity Cube™, where young minds will engage with fun and interactive science activities.
Spaces are limited to 30 participants per session, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment!
Theme: Synthetic Biology
In 2026, Curiosity CubeTM visitors will use a variety of learning gadgets to explore the fundamentals of synthetic biology through three experiments. They will explore how enzymes shapes influence biological processes using lock-and-key models, use building blocks to discover how DNA “codes” affect traits and behaviour, and examine real case studies to learn how turning genes on and off can create “super” genes that help solve real-world problems.
