Esplora, the Interactive Science Centre, has officially launched its summer 2025 programme, offering a full season of educational and entertaining activities for children and families, with a strong focus on science, exploration, and curiosity.

The programme, which will run until 28 September, will include interactive science shows, hands-on workshops, planetarium experiences, and over 200 exhibitions spread throughout a climate-controlled and inclusive environment. This year, the programme introduces a dynamic thematic structure that changes every few weeks, with themes ranging from space, nature, food science, and sports, to traditional Maltese festivals.

The activities are designed for children aged between 2 and 14 years and offer a fun, practical approach to science education, encouraging independent learning, imagination, and creativity.

The Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Research and Innovation, Keith Azzopardi Tanti, praised Esplora's commitment to promoting science among youth and families. "Esplora plays a vital role in engagingly bringing science to our younger generations, offering programmes that are accessible and fun. The summer programme is a brilliant example of how informal learning environments can spark curiosity, creativity, and a love for science. I thank the Esplora team for their dedication in continuing to nurture and inspire future thinkers and innovators in the most inclusive way."

Mary Anne Cauchi, Head of Esplora, stated, "This year's Summer Programme is designed to inspire wonder and exploration. At Esplora, we are committed to creating meaningful science learning opportunities that are innovative, inclusive, and fun for everyone who walks through our doors."

Through this programme, Esplora not only offers an educational alternative for families during the summer, but also strengthens its mission to bring science closer to everyone, in an environment that encourages knowledge, participation, and exploration for all, a government statement said.
