The Big Bang aims to excite, educate, stimulate and enthuse young people about opportunities in STEM inspiring them to follow careers in this rewarding field. It is led by EngineeringUK and developed in partnership with The British Science Association and Young Engineers with support from over 70 organisations from business and industry, government and the STEM community. The London Fair is one of the free, annual, regional events that bring the power of The Big Bang to you.
Bring along a school group

As well as exploring the many school-created projects and joining in hands-on activities, they can talk to real scientists about their work, see ‘Bloodhound SSC’ the ultimate land speed record car that is being designed to go at 1,000mph and meet people from business and industry to discover where studying STEM could take them.
