Schools' programme

After a brilliant sell-out event last year, the Manchester Science Festival schools' programme is will be back this October... it's going to be explosive!

Bookings are now open

Our secondary schools programme will return on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 October 2010. Each day will include entertaining, engaging and educational, shows and activities exploring science, engineering, technology and maths. Students will have the chance to meet and question enthusiastic scientists, enjoy hands-on activities and develop their problem solving skills.

Due to a fantastic response to this year's Manchester Science Festival Schools' programme we are not accepting further booking requests at present.  

Please note priority is given to schools within Greater Manchester and based on a first come, first serve basis. Please also note we may not be able to accommodate the number of places requested. If you have submitted a provisional booking form, we will be back in touch very soon with more details.
