WHAT IS SARAWAK SCIENCE CENTRE (SSCiEX)?
SSCiEX (Sarawak Science Centre Interactive Experience) is Sarawak’s first interactive science centre. It is located at Jalan Stadium, Kuching, on a 10.97-acre site. Phase 1 will open on 29 July 2026, covering the Ground Floor and Level 1 galleries. Phase 2, covering Level 2 and Level 3, is planned for a later date.
The Sarawak Government built and runs SSCiEX under the Post-COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS 2030). It gives students, families, and the public a place to do science hands-on, in ways most schools in Sarawak cannot offer.
The galleries cover physics, engineering, earth science, biology, and technology. Key spaces include an animatronic dinosaur gallery, a water play zone, and hands-on exhibits on forces, light, and sound.
SSCiEX also runs daily science shows in the theatre, live floor demonstrations, school lab sessions, and outreach programmes to schools across Sarawak. Other facilities include a Maker's Space, specialised labs, community farming zones, and an on-site hostel for school groups.
THE STORY OF SARAWAK SCIENCE CENTRE
In 2019, the Sarawak Government approved the project. The reason was simple. Sarawak needed a science centre where schools, families, and communities could do science hands on.
Planning began in 2022. Singapore Science Centre developed the Strategic Master Plan. It set the exhibition themes, scope, and operating model. It also linked global science education standards to Sarawak’s physical and cultural context — the rainforest, the rivers, and the communities the centre was built to serve.
By 2024, construction was moving forward. The team finalised concept designs for key zones, including Exploring Our Planet and Exploring Around Us. Exhibit fabrication and installation followed in 2025.
SSCiEX opens to the public on 30 July 2026 — built so that students here can get the same standard of science experience found in larger cities.
