The largest free UK Science Festival returns with more than 150 events over two weeks.
8 – 21 March 2010
Delve into the diversity of science with hands on activities, talks and exhibitions covering all aspects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. This year is the International Year of Biodiversity and the Festival is celebrating this by inviting you to learn more about the colourful creatures on the land and beneath the waves at the many events on offer in University departments and museums. Many of the hands on activities, demonstrations and childrenβs lectures will take place on our family fun days on Saturday 13 and 20 March.
