Discover the story of fire by hearing about some fire-powered technologies. Accompanied by red-hot experiments, this presentation delves into how fire has powered innovation throughout the ages.

Cryo-Genius, Location: Demo Stage, 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Come and explore the chilling effects of a super-cooled gas! Packed with extremely cool experiments, this presentation shows what impact a liquid that’s colder than ice has on technology.

3, 2, 1…Go! Location: Exploratek, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Get inspired by catapults and trebuchet models from Leonardo da Vinci. How will you tackle this launching challenge?
Reach new heights by hurling projectiles from your very own launcher! Test different combinations to maximize the distance and strength of each shot.

Hands-On Challenges, Location: Hub, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Take part in a range of amusing, hands-on challenges! Take inspiration from the “Renaissance Man” — Leonardo da Vinci — by mastering mirror-writing, or by building his self-supporting Emergency Bridge. You can also test your dexterity, challenge your family and friends to the “electrifying” maple leaf game, and pedal on the energy bike to recharge your phone. Fun for the whole family!
