A tale of the city OR The Big Bang Fair


Yesterday, i was here:


Big Bang Fair is a competition, more like a celebration as the organisers describe it, in STEM subjects. Pupils from 11 till 18 years old can take part in the regional Big Bang Fairs either as individuals or in groups and the best projects are selected to go through to the National Big Bang Fair.







It was great fun.
We made stools from newspapers:




Played with colorful solutions:




And with cards:




But also some serious science took place. There were hydrolic robots, screw drivers, projects on the life on Mars and the power of circular movement.




 And there were winners...






But what i loved yesterday was the enthusiasm in the eyes of the students when they were talking about Science and their projects.
