Mamma loves Scienceworks - it is just amazing and we love an excuse to re-visit time and time again. Well, get ready folks Born or Built? Our Robot Future is the latest exhibition to land here and just in time for school holidays too!

What makes us human? Are humans living machines? Could a robot ever fall in love? Should we reprogram our DNA? This new exhibition will be exploring the blurred lines between humanity and technology is coming to Scienceworks in April 2021.

Originating from Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre in Canberra, Born or Built? Our Robotic Future examines the similarities and differences between humans and machines, contemplating our overlapping future and the choices we will make to get there.

The exhibition encourages curious young minds to explore challenging ethical and philosophical questions about the future of robots and how humans will interact with them. Born or Built? reflects on how sophisticated and humanlike robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) has become, and how technology is continually evolving in every aspect of our lives.

Through a range of hands-on experiences, Born or Built? offers audiences of all ages the opportunity to discover modern technologies and our developing relationship with them, from chatting with a robot, testing a robot’s ability to understand our emotional state and encountering a range of robotic faces to see which one makes you feel the most uncomfortable.

We can’t wait to check it out!
