This free, family friendly event for all ages offers opportunities for the wider community to engage with a wide spectrum of science through hands-on activities, displays and talks to be inspired and have fun.
At Royal Holloway, we have a thriving science community with world-class pioneering research across the spectrum of science, and it's important for us to engage the next generation in these subjects and make it fun.
Our Science Festival is an opportunity to invite you to join us for a day of interactive displays and talks from, and for, people with a passion for science and technology.
Special guests at our last festival included talks from maths champion juggler, Colin Wright, and a Guided Tour of the Darker reaches of the Periodic Table with Hal Sosabowski, Professor of Public Understanding of Science. Our own scientists presented talks on a range of themes from Missions to Asteroids, Colliding black holes, and the Future of Music and AI - to food security and how engineers help doctors with diagnoses. We welcomed back the ever popular Wiggly Wildshow mini beasts, and the Gauge One Model Railway Association Surrey with their miniature steam trains.
The programme included a range of things to see and do to explore science from across our science departments, with a treasure trail for younger visitors to complete their Science Passport.
