Planet Pioneers in China

In July 2023, our exhibition Planet Pioneers was hired by Guangdong Science Centre in Guangzhou, one of the largest science centres in the world. This is the first time a Scitech exhibition has been to China, offering a valuable opportunity to build connections with science centres in the region as well as support further relationships with tourism, education and business links for Western Australia.

Scitech Exhibitions & Operations General Manager William Peng and TREX Program Manager Jason Poletti travelled to Guangdong Science Centre to help with the exhibition assembly and meet with the Exhibitions team there. Our ability to personalise the hiring experience by providing construction support and William being able to speak Mandarin enhanced the connections made between Scitech and Guangdong Science Centre
and laid the groundwork for further relationships and collaborations with other science centres in China.

Planet Pioneers was at Guangdong Science Centre from 15 July to 15 November 2023 and on the day exhibition opened, the centre received a total of 20,000 visitors, showing the incredible scope of audience available through hiring out Scitech exhibitions in this region.

Originally launched at Scitech in 2017, Planet Pioneers comprises of 17 full body, hands-on exhibits which give visitors an insight into what it might be like to live on another planet. Like all our exhibitions, it is designed to enhance visitor experiences through its innovation and durability and communicate science concepts regardless of cultural differences.
