THE Discovery Centre\u2019s Summer of Science! <\/em>is coming to a close in just a few days, so this weekend is your final chance to get down and catch all the latest shows and exhibits.<\/p>\n

Science communicator Kendal Fairweather said there is still plenty to do over the final two days of the Summer of Science! <\/em>before centre closes for construction until March.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have got a science show twice a day and that\u2019s Bringing the beach to Bendigo<\/em> talking about the science you can see if you get to visit the beach,\u201d Mx Fairweather said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have all of our exhibits out on the floor, over 100 of them, and we have our slide which is running three times a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is also a chance for the thrifty out there to win a free family membership for the rest of the year Mx Fairweather said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also have a treasure hunt which is about exploring the centre, finding things with a couple of clues, drawing a little treasure map and then visitors are welcome to submit that for the chance to win a family membership,\u201d Mx Fairweather said.<\/p>\n

With the season coming to an end, Mx Fairweather said it had been an enjoyable summer season with the number of people coming through the Discovery Centre\u2019s doors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a lot of great fun having people in through the centre and just enjoying the space,\u201d Mx Fairweather said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so much more fun to be here and to work here when it\u2019s full of people and the sounds of joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really inspiring for me doing my job knowing that people are here having fun and I get to help create that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
