A vibrant new space is set to open at the 20-21 Visual Arts Centre in Scunthorpe, offering families a chance to explore science and creativity in one interactive setting.
Discover@20-21, the town’s new STEAM gallery, will open on 30 October. The hands-on space blends science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics through a series of playful exhibits designed for children and families.
Inside, visitors can experiment with light tables, magnetic walls, and digital art screens, while optical illusions and creative puzzles turn scientific ideas into visual experiences. The gallery also features activities that encourage problem-solving, balance, and imagination through building, drawing, and design.
The project aims to make learning an immersive and social experience, where children can freely create, test ideas, and see their work displayed in large-scale projections across the venue’s historic chancel window.
Discover@20-21 will be open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am to 4pm. Admission is free.
