Taking part in British Science Week 2016

British Science Week is organised by the British Science Association whose aim is to make science and technology a natural part of our society. Taking part in British Science Week is great opportunity to organise a science-related activity in your school. The British Science Association helps organisers plan events by providing free activity and support resources resulting in a hugely varied and eclectic mix of informative scientific fun events which are specifically designed to engage young people and their teachers and parents in the world of science and technology, with an eye to stemming any future skills shortages in these areas. You can search here for upcoming events in your own area and join in or alternatively you could organise you own event.
