And just like that, our Schools Science Festival and Activity Weekend is over for another year! 🔬✨

Over the past two weeks, we’ve had an incredible time delivering hands-on workshops and inspiring activities for pupils across Aberdeen, the North East, and Angus, in partnership with the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University.

A huge thank you to our amazing workshop providers, festival assistants, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and generosity made this event possible and helped create unforgettable experiences for hundreds of young people.

We’re proud to play a part in inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.

Here’s to building a brighter future through science, discovery, and education! 🚀🧪💡
