Would you like to be a part of the first Scottish Big Bang Fair? Have you completed a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics project you're proud of? Or would you like your school to come along and be inspired by the amazing projects, activity providers, workshops and shows on offer? As well as the competition, there will be lots going on for students and teachers too!
TechFest-SetPoint is delighted to be organising the first Scottish Big Bang Fair at the University of Abertay, Dundee, on June 7th 2010!

Scotland's Big Bang Fair is an expansion on last year's highly successful CREST RinR Conference and the format is similar, but it will be even bigger and better! The event will celebrate and reward students' achievements as well as inspiring them about their futures in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
The Scottish Big Bang Fair aims:
- To celebrate students' achievements and excellence through the competition and to identify eligible students (individuals, teams and clubs) to represent the region at the National Big Bang 2011;
- To educate and inspire young people not yet engaged with STEM;
- To engage widely with schools, STEM providers, regional businesses, institutions and industry to highlight the many STEM opportunities that are available;
- To act as a platform for regional STEM initiatives.
Students aged 11-18 from all over Scotland (in teams or individually) can bring STEM projects along to compete for prizes. Scotland's Big Bang Fair incorporates the CREST and Young Engineers for Britain regional competitions, but any other projects, such as STEM Clubs, are also eligible to enter in any field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. As well as prizes at the event itself, students can also be nominated to the National Big Bang Fair in 2011 to win even bigger and better prizes. More information on the National Fair is available at - www.thebigbangfair.co.uk/
More details coming soon! Information will be posted on our website at:-www.techfestsetpoint.org.uk
