Light, colour, sound and scientific activity have been piquing the curiosity of young minds, including those from Melton and Moorabool, at Scienceworks this school holidays.

Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski visited the Spotswood science and technology museum to capture what fun activities are on offer.

Children of all ages enjoyed a number of activities as part of the Illuminate exhibition, which includes a large-scale kaleidoscope, image morphing mirrors and a pixel art maker.

Scienceworks’ summer school holiday program is also running until Sunday, January 29, which includes From Sandwich to Sewerage, which tells the story of how the food people eat ends up in waste services, Planetarium shows and Lightning Room shows.

The Flushback program is also continuing to show people of all ages the history of the Spotswood Pumping Station via a virtual augmented reality tour.
