Community Programme

Community Programme

Our programme is based on the Science Capital concept, which helps us understand patterns in science participation – why some people engage with science and others do not – and we proactively promote gender balance and equality. Aberdeen Science Centre activities are specifically tailored to increase science capital and develop life skills.

We have worked with a range of community groups including Family Learning, Alcohol and Drugs Action and the Prince’s Trust.

Outdoor Workshops

Science is all around us – we can explore it in our local parks, beaches and woodlands!

Hands on experiments

Science is much more than white coats and test tubes – it’s part of everything we do every single day!
