GLASGOW Science Centre finally reopens its doors today with a new exhibition that was originally scheduled for late March.
The new £1.1 million Idea No59, is dedicated to innovation and how it has and will change our world.
Quantum photonics, machine learning and genetic sequencing are just some of the technologies featured in Idea No59, which features a combination of interactive exhibits, stories of innovation and hands-on workshops.
Visitors will also notice the refurbished atrium and new ticketing desk (complete with sneeze screens), a STEM hub known as the Bothy and a range of new safety measures to keep everyone safe such as enhanced cleaning of certain areas.
A few places like the Big Explorer soft play area will remain closed in accordance with social distancing guidance. Masks are mandatory for over fives and social distancing must be adhered to.
Pre-booking online is now essential for entry into the centre.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
