Do you have a need… a need for speed? Join Science Gallery as we explore the math and the mechanics of how to make things go fast. Head on downstairs from the gallery and put your engineering skills to the test, designing and making an electric speedster from some unlikely materials. Then, race it down our track for your chance to win some fabulous prizes.

As part of the University of Melbourne’s Open Day 2022, Science Gallery Melbourne invites you to come and explore the collision of art and science through our forthcoming SWARM exhibition. Science Gallery Melbourne is part of the acclaimed Global Science Gallery Network pioneered by Trinity College Dublin which consists of 8 leading universities from around the world. This Open day, in collaboration with our partner Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, we are hosting a drop-in workshop: Get Your Motor Running.
