Exhibits: Sci-Bono Discovery Centre has a growing collection of interactive science and technology exhibits that allow visitors to engage with concepts in a hands-on experiential way that supports cognitive development. The exhibits directly assist in developing positive attitudes towards Science, Engineering and Technology. A significant number of the exhibits are designed to be mobile so that they can be set up in schools, libraries and community centres in order to service poorer communities that struggle to access the centre.
