BIOCITY

A new partnership with BioCity to excite Nottingham pupils about science and raise awareness of local STEM careers opportunities

​

We are working in partnership with BioCity, the largest science incubator in the UK, to deliver a range of programmes engaging schools with local opportunities in STEM.

​

LAB_13 BIOCITY

Each month, we invite a group of primary school pupils to spend a day in the BioCity labs, using their own curiosity to investigate questions that matter to them. Pupils will work with the Ignite! team and a Scientist in Residence from one of the companies based at BioCity to learn about how scientists really do investigations.

ADA LOVELACE DAY

We have previously celebrated Ada Lovelace Day in 2018 and 2019 by inviting year 7 and 8 girls from ten Nottingham and Nottinghamshire secondary schools to take part in interactive activities run by inspiring female scientists. We will be running this event again in 2020 and once again pupils will have the opportunity to speak to real scientists working across academia, research and industry and ask questions about what it's like to be a women in STEM.
