Science & Engineering Shows
Every September and October, the National Science Museum heads up to West Cumbria and present the REACT Foundation Science and Engineering Shows. These highly interactive and entertaining shows are held at various schools in the area and are open to both KS 2 & 3 and Year 10 students, with a different show available for each age group. They are a fantastic opportunity to get younger students excited about science, and hopefully start to inspire the engineers of the future. Find out more
