Our mission is to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to young people and wider communities. We seek to demonstrate kids as young as 3 years old that science is FUN and sparkle their interest in STEM fields from early age.
TechFest offers a variety of outreach workshops suitable for nursery & early years. All the workshops are led by experienced presenters with a teaching or science background and provide an excellent opportunity for children to engage in enjoyable activities.

Due to the pandemic and the rise in remote working as well as home schooling, Techfest had to transition into a completely digital world where we had to adapt the ways we engage with our audiences. This brought massive advantages that would have not been achieved under regular circumstances.

A collaboration between Aberdeen Science Centre 
and TechFest, supported by the Institute of Physics (IOP), the ‘Space into Energy’ programme gives young people a glimpse into the inner workings of these exciting fields and how the skill sets required for each sector often overlap.
Featuring experts from each industry, participants will learn about innovation, teamwork and leadership through hands-on activities and interactive sessions, empowering them to discover their unique talents and how they can be the problem-solvers of the future.
We’re packing a whole range of activities into our programme with activities for all ages. From family days at Aberdeen Science Centre to interviews with industry professionals, there is something to inspire everyone.
The programme will be available to download very soon. Follow us on our social media channels for updates.
