Sponsor Highlight: Hitachi Energy + Edinburgh Science | Edinburgh Science Festival 2025
The newly imagined DiscoveryLab at the Edinburgh Science Festival 2025. Families enjoyed five unique activity spaces plus the chance to take part in one of five premium workshops. A Festival favourite this year was Little Electricity, sponsored by Hitachi Energy, where children aged 5–11 created their own snap circuits meanwhile learning about electrical components and circuits. As a hands-on activity, Little Electricity was great at engaging young scientists, building their understanding of electricity and how it’s used all around us. Throughout DiscoveryLab, exciting hands-on activities are designed for the whole family to explore and get involved in. It’s a place where curiosity runs wild in our living laboratory, offering a Festival experience filled with discovery, creativity, and plenty of fun for everyone.
