- Cool aeronautics – Design, make and fly a mini helicopter, with help from the Cool Aeronautics team of aeronautical and space engineers.
- Rooftop Bees – Watch busy bees at work in an observation hive and taste a range of delicious honeys.
- Robokids – Learn technological skills to thrive in the ever-changing, automated world that lies ahead.
