Still talking about it!

My 9 year old grandson is still talking about it 6 days later. He was so enthusiastic after I took him on the Friday his parents took him on the Saturday.

100% success!

The main reason we came was to show our children how interesting and entertaining science can be. The event succeeded 100% in doing this.

STEM to STEAM

In an increasingly robotised world, the need for human creativity, humanity and positive multidisciplinary collaborations has rarely felt more important. The role that the arts play, including in connecting people with science, technology, engineering and maths is essential. I look forward to visiting the Festival of Tomorrow, discovering & exploring developments. I congratulate Rod Hebden and the team in bringing this Festival to life.

Engaging and insightful workshop

The workshop was very engaging and insightful. The children and staff both loved all of the activities and all could feel like they could join in.
