Science Centre Delft, Technology museum and university building in Delft, Netherlands
Science Centre Delft is a museum and university building that introduces visitors to technology and scientific research. It houses laboratories such as the BioLab and Makerspace alongside interactive exhibitions showing how researchers at TU Delft investigate real-world problems.
The building was founded in 1912 as part of the mining department and gradually became a bridge between the university and the public. Over time it grew from a single teaching space into a modern centre for explaining scientific research to wide audiences.
The centre transforms university research into hands-on learning that people of all ages can explore and understand. Visitors see how scientists work and discover practical applications that connect academic discovery to everyday life.
The centre is located on the university campus and easy to reach on foot, with plenty of space for groups and school visits. The different areas are clearly marked so you can move easily between laboratories and exhibitions.
The centre offers programming courses using Minecraft where visitors can learn coding basics through play and download free add-ons. This unusual blend of gaming and science shows how modern teaching methods make technical concepts accessible to everyone.
