The Big Bang Fair
"We are all aware of the need to encourage young people to pursue science at school for longer and to consider entering science and engineering professions: I believe the proposed fair will be a key platform for creating this change in perspective.
One of the new activities at the Fair will be the Careers Zone where the Science Council will be showcasing its new Future Morph website: this will be one of the elements of the Big Bang that will aim to raise awareness, particularly among young people but also their parents, of the excitement in the study of STEM subjects, the skills and knowledge gained, the creative opportunities offered and the wide range of careers that can be open to those with these qualifications and skills".
Sir Tom McKillop, President of the Science Council and joint patron of The Big Bang
The Big Bang was officially launched in November 2009 and the website is now live.
The next Big Bang Fair will be held between the 10th and 12th March 2011. For all the latest information, click here
