This interactive, pop-up science lab is designed to spark curiosity and inspire young minds. The Faculty of Science is inviting the children (ages 8 to 12) of UCT staff to come and explore.

Inside the Curiosity Cube, you will take part in hands-on artificial intelligence (AI)-related science experiments.

Registration required: Book your timeslot

Spaces are limited, and each session runs for 45 minutes, so registration is essential. Bookings close when all the slots are full or at 12:00 on Thursday, 11 September.
