ArtScience on Screen returns to the museum this August with films that spotlight young inventors and their quirky creations!
Few aspects of the scientific process capture the imagination quite like the invention of something wholly new. ArtScience on Screen: Ode to Invention is a short film programme that celebrates the sparks of insights and “Eureka!” moments through the eyes of child protagonists. Comprised of four short films, follow our young and unlikely heroes who charge fearlessly with their ideas, reminding us it’s never too early to start dreaming big.
