The Phenomena Factory is a interactive science centre providing hands-on education for kids of all ages. You can challenge yourself in the Perception Tunnel or test your reactions while you touch, switch, pull and crank your way around the Phenomena Factory, actively learning about science along the way.
Exhibits also include Death at a Distance, Dice with Death, Sniff a Snack, and Squeeze and Serve - all from Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre in Australia. You will also find the Jaffa Machine donated by Hydro Tasmania which turns human mechanical energy into kinetic energy. Crank the handle and sustain the energy output long enough and you'll be rewarded with a jaffa.
Phenomena Factory is the result of a successful partnership between Rio Tinto Alcan and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, with generous support from the Tasmanian State Government and Launceston City Council.
