Celebrating 10 years of Curiosity! Lewes STEM Festival returns to Lewes Town Hall with a free day of hands-on science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) activities for all ages.
This year's festival will once again bring together scientists, researchers, local organisations and community groups for a full programme of interactive exhibits, experiments and demonstrations. Try being rainforest explorers with Borneo Nature Foundation, take a virtual reality trip to the International Space Station, or investigate how different wind turbine designs generate electricity with RWE Rampion.
There will also be opportunities to discover how the brain works, see immune cells under a microscope with NHS scientists, and explore the fascinating world of atoms and particle physics with researchers from the University of Sussex.
Local organisations will be joining the celebrations too, with Lewes Swift Supporters helping visitors make bug hotels, Lewes Astronomical Society demonstrating how comets are made, and the Observatory Science Centre bringing a range of interactive exhibits, amongst others.
With activities suitable for children aged 6+ and adults, the festival offers something for curious minds of all ages. University students and researchers will also be on hand, making it a great opportunity for GCSE and A-level students to find out more about studying STEM subjects and potential future careers.
