All shows will have live BSL interpretation.
Flight to the Future
Brought to you by the University of Wolverhampton.
Flight to the Future is an exciting, interactive and sometimes explosive, journey through the discovery and science of flight.
Using comedy, audience volunteers and amazing experiments the STEM Response Team explore some of the key discoveries that have made flight possible, the people behind them and the amazing future opportunities that flight holds as humans take their place in the stars!
Biomimicry show
Brought to you by ZooLab UK.
Welcome to the stage our amazing animals inspiring our engineers and scientist.
This Biomimicry stage show will have you meet a gecko with very special feet, a tarantula with an incredible silk and a snake whose venom could become a cure!
This fun stage show explores natural materials and how our human creations compare, we’ll be getting the crowd involved with some examples of Biomimicry inspired products and of course we’ll be taking a close look at all the animals and the amazing things they can do that we humans are learning from.
Guess who?
Get to know the person behind the job! Meet inspiring people working in STEM and guess who matches each statement. Example statements are:
- who wanted to be a pilot when growing up? Who didn’t do well in maths or science at school?
- who represented their country in sports? Who is great at recognising patterns?
Challenge stereotypes about who works in STEM, the skills these roles require and the many routes into these careers. Discover what STEM jobs really involve, and see how they're open to everyone.
In STEM, there's a place for all kinds of people. Whatever your interests or background, there's a role for you.
Students can find Guess who? on the main stage twice a session each day.
