British Science Week: Demo Day returns for 2017

Next month, British Science Week returns, as does the popular Demo Day initiative. Amelia Perry, from organisers the British Science Association, explains more

We all know it can be challenging to educate youngsters in innovative ways that don’t run the risk of their minds wandering. Science and maths can be particularly intimidating subjects for a lot of people as they are often seen as technical and boring.

However, they also have the potential to be fascinating, fun and inject a sense of creativity and inquisitiveness into students. Therefore, if you are looking for inspiration on how to feed your pupils’ minds this year, how about taking advantage of British Science Week (BSW).

BSW is a national celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths, featuring events and activities across the UK. It is run by the British Science Association (BSA) and will take place from March 10 to 19. There will be a variety of flagship events happening all over the country during the week as well as activities in schools from all corners of the UK. Last year, thousands of events took place, engaging more than 1.6 million people.
