INTECH Science Centre & Planetarium

Winchester, Hampshire, UK

INTECH Science Centre & Planetarium is a unique, exciting, interactive centre administered by the educational charity, The Hampshire Technology Centre Trust Ltd, with the specific purpose of promoting the knowledge and understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics -- STEM. The Trust was founded in 1985 by like-minded people in business, industry, and higher education in response to the local shortage of scientists, engineers, and technicians. From humble beginnings INTECH has grown into an important regional hub for informal science learning and a popular visitor attraction for schools and the general public.

INTECH offers 100 hands-on exhibits, which communicate the fundamental principles of science and technology and their applications in industry and the home in a fun and interactive way.

INTECH also provides a variety of flexible facilities for corporate meetings, conferences, launches, and hospitality. The air conditioned planetarium provides a stunning setting for business presentations with its 176 tiered seats, state of the art lighting, and 7.1 surround sound.
