Edinburgh Science Festival: Street Science

Direct from the UK's largest science festival, the Street Science team brings interactive science to life at The Huntington with live experiments, thrilling demonstrations, and captivating, family-friendly performances featuring chemistry, special effects, and more.

Founded 35 years ago as the world’s first public celebration of science and technology, the Edinburgh Science Festival is now the UK’s largest. This year, they’ve teamed up with Getty for the PST ART + Science Family Festival, bringing exciting interactive science to life.
