Increase access to science
We aim to remove barriers to access and deliver an inclusive, low-cost Festival, working closely in partnership with communities and experts to increase participation.

Support careers in science
We aim to inspire children, young people and adults to consider careers in science, and to showcase a diverse range of pathways and roles within a broad sector.
