The future is bright! And so are the lights. Explore light and colours in this fun hands-on program designed to learn all about waves and the cool stuff they do. Investigate the visible light spectrum, including colour addition and subtraction, ultraviolet light and more. We explore illusions, flipbooks and lots of amazing optics that will trick your eyes and muddle your brain.

Children should wear old clothes and bring a hat, sunscreen, water bottle and snack (no peanuts).

This program is presented by Fizzics Education as part of the Centennial Parklands holiday programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the program being held?

Centennial Park is based on one-way streets. It is easiest to approach Dickens Drive from the Lang Road entrance of the park on the northwestern side. Continue along Dickens Drive past Loch Avenue and the centre will be on your left just before the bridge. Park your car on the street and walk 150m from the road and you’ll find us there in the WILD PLAY Discovery Centre!

My child is too young, can they attend with their older sibling?

No, unfortunately. The minimum age of each program is set to ensure that children attending have the mathematical and problem-solving skills to successfully program the robots and keep up with the pace of the program. Younger children tend to fall behind and can end up frustrated which can have an impact on the rest of the class.
