… should you choose to accept it, is to collect intelligence on the science of espionage at Scienceworks’ latest special exhibition.

Top Secret – Licence to Spy was officially launched at Scienceworks on Tuesday 30 May by ex-ASIO spy-turned-comedian, David Callan.

David took a local school group on their first clandestine adventure at the media launch, then had over 150 guests laughing at his secret agent stories at the stakeholders' launch.

This exciting interactive exhibition is the ultimate cloak and dagger experience, where visitors become high-tech spies tasked with solving an international crime.

Along the way they can discover scientific secrets of spying from the 1940s to the 21st century. From codes, night vision and satellite surveillance to laser security and disguises, the exhibition showcases scientific advances that have kept spies one step ahead of their competition.

Genevieve Fahey, Scienceworks Manager, said 'Top Secret – Licence to Spy will allow our visitors to understand the basis of spy technology and how science in everyday life is used to develop new technologies. Children and their parents will be able to pretend they are an undercover agent like James Bond, Maxwell Smart or Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.'

Top Secret – Licence to Spy was built by Scitech, Perth in partnership with Scienceworks and is showing until 29 January 2007.
