National Science and Engineering Week is a 10-day long celebration of science, engineering and technology that sees people of all ages taking part in, and organising, a vast array of events across the country. In 2009, over 1.4 million people took part in 3,500 events throughout the UK. Coordinated by the British Science Association, in partnership with Engineering UK, with funding from BIS (the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills), National Science and Engineering Week aims to inspire and engage people from all walks of life directly with science, engineering and technology. The National Science and Engineering Week website (www.nsew.org.uk) has a whole host of freely downloadable resources.
During this week, the Institute organises numerous visits to primary schools, takes an exhibition to the Cambridge Science Festival, runs our annual Schools’ Science Day and several scientists give talks in schools or the local community.
