Beyond standard exhibitions, the Jiangsu Science and Technology Museum hosts the annual "Future Science Festival" every spring, featuring hands-on experiments, robotics competitions, and a virtual reality Mars base mission. The most popular attraction is the Mars Base Simulation Mission, where participants complete space exploration tasks in immersive VR environments, learning real-world aerospace concepts.
The museum also runs the Youth Innovation Workshop, offering courses in 3D printing, coding basics, and electronics assembly—reservations required. On weekends, "Night Science Adventure" events combine light shows with interactive sound and motion exhibits, helping children grasp physics and biology through engaging storytelling. All activities take place in the main exhibition hall and adjacent multi-purpose venues; check official schedules online for details and HopeGoo.
