British Science Week

Promoted by the British Science Association, the annual British Science Week aims to celebrate all sciences and their importance in our everyday lives. It provides an opportunity for people of all ages across the UK to take part in science, engineering and technology events and activities.

This collection contains:

  • a range of guides which will help with generating ideas for British Science Week events, with guidance to help you get started and run an event
  • several activity packs from British Science Week.

More guides, case studies and resources for organisers are available at the British Science Association website.
