Inspiring the scientists & engineers of the future
The biggest single event of its kind in the country, The Big Bang Fair moves to Birmingham for 2012.
An award-winning combination of exciting theatre shows, interactive workshops and exhibits delivered by household names, together with careers information provided by a wide range of people already working in the field, The Big Bang Fair enables young people to see science and engineering in a new light. Over a three day period in March, The NEC will be teeming with thousands of young people, their teachers and parents, all of them ready to be inspired to learn more about the science, technology, engineering and mathematics around them; to understand the importance of studying science and maths and the wealth of opportunities available to them in education and beyond, into the world of work.
