Science and Technology Showcase

Activities for booked school groups only

What is the Science and Technology Showcase?

The aim of the Science and Technology Showcase is to raise students’ aspirations in science and technology subjects and demonstrate how exciting STEM can be at A level and in higher education.

As well as having some fun, this is a unique opportunity for students to talk with current undergraduate students, PhD students and academics about what it’s like to study and work in STEM.

The 2020 Science and Technology Showcase will take place on 22 and 23 January 2020

Over two days, we will take over our on-campus marquee and fill it with interactive exhibits from across our Faculty of Science and Engineering. Students can move freely between stands, spending time at the exhibits that are of interest to them.

Exhibits will range from Segways to computer game technology, oculus rift to marine wildlife, chemistry experiments to healthcare sciences, with something for everyone and plenty of opportunity for students to get hands on.
