Media Coverage

The Superstition Challenge continues to astound by how much media attention it generates. The original Feb 2004 programme turned out to be Glasgow Science Centre's largest media event second only to the science centre opening. The May 2005 event did similar things for Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum.

GSC was the first science centre in the world to put on a Superstition Challenge. Other attractions now hosting it.
