Eureka! Science and Discovery Centre was a huge illustration project taking over a year to fully realise (an 8 year project in total) commissioned during the pandemic with the goal of creating a fun and engaging educational space for visiting families. The Home section of the centre is on the first floor and in this series of images you will see the outside space before you venture inside the home. These are a series of connected wall murals with interactive elements for public engagement.
Eureka! Science + Discovery is designed for children and young people up to 14 years to discover how Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) influence and shape their lives. Through connecting the everyday with the extraordinary, we ignite curiosities and present possibilities.
