The Big Bang Fair UK

Organization: EngineeringUK

Program Overview

A major UK STEM fair showcasing science, technology, engineering and maths through interactive exhibits and shows for young people.

The Big Bang Fair is a large UK science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) event organised by EngineeringUK. Aimed at school‑age students, it brings together interactive exhibits, hands‑on activities, stage shows, and talks from engineers, scientists and technologists. The Fair is designed to inspire young people to explore STEM subjects and consider future study and career paths in these fields. Schools typically bring groups of students to the in‑person fair, and there are related activities such as **The Big Bang Competition** and **The Big Bang at School** that allow students to showcase STEM projects or run smaller events in their own schools. While the Fair itself is not a traditional academic "competition", it often hosts or connects to competitive STEM opportunities and offers significant benefits in terms of exposure to real‑world STEM, networking with employers and universities, and learning about apprenticeships and degrees.
