The award-winning Lancashire Science Festival returned to University of Central Lancashire from 15th-17th May in Preston and TrainEd team was there in force for the full three days straight. Thousands of people came to enjoy the wide variety of hands-on activities and shows which demonstrated the fun and real-world application of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
The festival is a celebration of all things STEM and aims to enthuse, inform and inspire the next generation, with a spectacular showcase of their wonders. The first two days were dedicated to school groups where the team spoke to hundreds of Year 5 – 7 pupils from schools across the North West and the last day was open to all with many families and groups coming down to see what all the fun was about.
Lancashire Science Festival Director Dr Liz Granger said: “Our 11th festival has been a huge success with thousands of people, both young and old, engaging with a wide variety of STEM themed activities, workshops and shows across the three days. We’ve worked really hard to ensure the festival appealed to children of all ages and the feedback from teachers and parents has been really great. We are delighted to know so many people have been inspired by our award-winning event.”
We were there and we’ll definitely be back!
