Schools' Day 2024

Schools' Day 2024

Schools' Day 2024

We're delighted to announce the return of Schools' Day on Wednesday 6th March 2024.

This will be the 30th year of the event being hosted at Babraham Institute!

At Schools' Day, students from schools all over Cambridgeshire and beyond gather at the Institute to discover more about our world-leading bioscience research. Led by Institute researchers, secondary and sixth-form students complete hands-on lab projects. Often using equipment not available within schools, Schools’ Day aims to enthuse, inspire and motivate students and provide insight into what life is really like in the lab.

Schools' Day is for students in Years 10-13. Typically, up to 5 students per school or sixth form may attend, although more places may be offered if capacity allows.

We have also established a Travel Fund to support schools for which the cost of attending would be prohibitive. Funds of up to £500 are available to a limited number of state-maintained schools. Priority will be assessed using the English Indices of Deprivation 2019.

 

How to register: Click here to express your interest in attending Schools' day 2024. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
