How early can a child eat a piece of scientific cake? Learning begins with the first sounds reaching a child’s ears even before birth, the first time they open their eyes, the first contact of their senses with the surrounding world. The first years are the prodigy period in a child’s development. How to make the best of it when hosting a child in a science centre? We will look for possible approaches in terms of design, technology, ergonomics, didactics and – last but not least – pure joy of discovery. Feeding children’s curiosity, showing them science as a playful experience needs close cooperation of designers, staff and parents. In the same time exhibitions should be universally accessible.
