Join us at the NextGen Zone, a high-energy hub designed by and for the innovators of tomorrow.
The NextGen Zone is a space for teens and young adults where art and science collide. No need to be an expert to enjoy it, just step inside!
Marvel at the wacky advances in robotics, discover the unexpected side of human biology or unleash and challenge your creativity. Find the fun in the fundamentals of science and art in interactive displays, hands-on workshops, and chats with experts.
Are you ready to tackle the big decision to stop a future pandemic? What about DIY-ing your own lab equipment? Can you challenge a robotic arm and win? Or explore the layers of art through a different lens?
If you’re feeling less active, then kick back and watch a match of robo-football, take a pic in our photobooth or chat with the Young Producers about the hidden heritage of the area. Let yourself soak in the atmosphere of curiosity and discovery.
Whatever you are here for, the NextGen Zone has something for you this summer.
