If you like science, engineering and art, Telus Spark is the place to be this weekend.

Beakerhead is bringing engineered marvels to the Telus Spark Science Centre.

They include all kinds of science demonstrations. Visitors can look forward to a giant mechanical octopus, a fire-breathing horse and more.

Organizers say they want to give people the chance to get as hands-on as possible with the amazing installations.

"We are all about supporting local community, and so here that's what we're doing at Beakerhead we are engaging communities and showcasing the importance of science and art and engineering," Megan Whittingham with Telus Spark said.

Beakerhead takes place from Sept. 20-22, with a packed schedule of events each day. The annual celebration has been running in Calgary since 2013.
