The Noël Turner Science Festival is a 2-day celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), aiming to spark curiosity and raise understanding and awareness of the practical applications of STEM for primary and secondary students on the Isle of Wight.

The festival takes place on the 6 & 7 February from 10am-2pm at Cowes Enterprise College on the Isle of Wight.

Secondary school students (year 7 & 10) will be attending on the 6 February.

Primary School students (year 5) will be attending on the 7  February.

Opportunities available for Science Communicators to run 2 or 3 workshops across one or both days of the festival:

• 45 mins – 1 hour long
• 30 – 100 students
• Timings across the day: 10:00 – 11:00, 11:30 – 12:30, 13:00 – 14:00
• Engineering is a key industry on the island so workshops could involve developing some of these skills. E.g. an invention/engineering type workshop – working together to solve a problem students can relate to.
• Workshops could also involve: something practical relating to your research, demonstrating how science is useful outside school – such as forensics, climate change sports science, medicines and health.
• Rooms are available for smaller workshops and larger spaces for theatre style workshops/shows
