SCHOOLS and companies are signing up for the biggest regional science event in the UK – the 2018 Big Bang Fair South East.

Gatwick Airport is headline sponsor of this event, packed with hundreds of interactive workshops, shows and other STEM-related activities.

It is being held on June 27 and 28 at the South of England Showground and is regionally co-ordinated by STEM Sussex.

Attendance is expected to top 2017’s record of 8,900 9-19-year-olds and their teachers.

2018 also marks the year of engineering so we look forward to celebrating and inspiring a record number of next generation of engineers.
