Every Easter the city becomes a gigantic laboratory of discovery, exploration and entertainment, as non-stop shows, demonstrations, hands-on activities, workshops and exhibitions are presented to educate and astonish all ages. The Edinburgh International Science Festival is designed to encourage discovery about the sciences and amazing technological events, such as outer space, our planet, the inner body and modern gadgets. Kids can become who or what they want to be, climb inside an enormous, snotty nostril and try to break world records, while adults can explore the chances of survival of the human race in the 21st century.
