#FOSAC17 Highlights


It's finished! The Festival of Science and Curiosity was running all last week (8th-15th February) and was an exciting, lively and fascinating week for all involved! The feedback we've received so far has been positive, with exhibitors, venues, volunteers and participants really enjoying the activities and praising the festival's impact on engaging the people of Nottingham with STEM.

Now we've had a bit of time to reflect, here are some of our highlights from this year's festival:

Explorers Fair

The first-ever Explorers Fair, held at Broadway Cinema and organised by Near Now, was a real shining star of the festival. The fair did a great job of engaging primary and secondary school children on the Thursday and Friday and then was incredibly popular when it opened to the public on Friday night and Saturday. With such a broad range of workshops, exhibitors and participants, our hats go off to Hasmita Chavda and all the team for their hard work making it a success.
