Families and young makers explore a luminous open science court at night, framed by cyan instruments and warm coral light

Dhaka, imagined Science museum + maker campus

A yard for
curious minds.

Step inside a living laboratory where stellar physics meets monsoon weather, circuits meet craft, and every visitor gets to make the next question.

Three ways in.

Come for a room-scale experiment, leave with a circuit, or stay after sunset for science in public.

Visitors guide suspended points of cyan light across a dark circular gallery

ExhibitAges 8+55 min

Cosmic Foundry

Turn the rules of stars into light, motion, and objects you can hold.

Young makers connect blue sensors and copper wire on a long workshop table

WorkshopAges 12–1690 min

River Circuits

Live experimentAll ages40 min

Night Lab: Blue Lightning

A live investigation of charge, storms, and why the air sometimes glows.

Our proposition The city is already a laboratory

Science is not somewhere else.

It is in the angle of a rickshaw mirror, the hum of a ceiling fan, the force inside a monsoon drain, and the repair bench at the end of the lane.

Orbit Yard is an imagined public campus for noticing those systems, testing them together, and building more generous futures from what we learn.
