Schools' programme
The Manchester Science Festival schools' programme is back this October and we have an exciting scientific treat in store…
Our secondary schools programme will run on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 October. Each day will include entertaining, engaging and educational workshops, 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.
Specifically for year 8 students, the schools programme will be FREE and will take place in a Manchester city centre location, easily accessible by public transport.
