The Big Bang UK Young
Scientists Engineers Fair
The NEC, Birmingham, 16–19 March 2016
The Big Bang Fair is an unprecedented and
unparalleled collaboration between Government,
education, industry and the wider STEM community.
Working together, we provide the introduction
and inspiration that puts young people on
course to follow rewarding careers in science
or engineering. In partnership, we are inspiring
the next generation of scientists and engineers.
“Shows such as this
help inspire children
to pursue a career
in STEM sectors.”
The Sunday Telegraph
2. The Fair continues to engage influential supporters and the
media alike. The Prime Minister, David Cameron, followed
up his 2013 visit with a trip to The Fair again this year;
Schools Minister, Nick Gibb MP opened The Fair; and Science
Minister Greg Clark MP spent most of The Fair’s family day
enjoying The Fair’s STEM exhibits and hands-on activities.
Broadcast coverage during the Fair included BBC Midlands
Today, ITV West Carlton News, ITV Central Tonight, BBC Breakfast
and Newsround. Fast becoming an annual feature, the UK Young
Engineer and UK Young Scientist of the Year, were once again
invited to the BBC Breakfast sofa to discuss their award winning
projects. The Fair also created a real buzz on social media,
with #bigbangfair reaching over 15 million Twitter accounts across
the four days. At the last count there had been almost 2,000 pieces
of media coverage across the whole of The Big Bang Fair media
campaign, which seeks to ensure The Fair’s messages reach beyond
those who attend.
Highlights of 2015
Almost 70,000 visitors came to The Big Bang Fair
in 2015, with an equal number of boys and girls.
The Fair boasted a wide variety of jaw-dropping shows,
hands-on workshops, exhibits and careers resources.
Almost 200 organisations came together to make The Big Bang
Fair a success. Young people visited the eight themed zones,
enjoying, amongst other things, augmented reality technology
and rocket car competitions, exploring the human body and
cycling to power cooling machines.
The Careers Cabin, the central hub for careers information,
hosted just short of 18,000 engagements with young people.
Volunteers from across industry, from senior management to
graduates and apprentices gave their time to provide young
people with valuable inspiration and to share their experience.
The finals of the National Science + Engineering Competition
are held at The Big Bang Fair, leading to a prestigious awards
ceremony hosted in 2015 by Gadget Show presenter Jason
Bradbury and science and engineering presenter Fran Scott
along with Peter Dickson of X Factor voiceover fame.
The winners were among more than 500 talented students
chosen to showcase their work to a world-class panel
of judges, including Nobel Prize winning biochemist
Sir Tim Hunt, Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut and
Race Engineer, Leena Gade.
Colum McNally, from St Colman’s College in Newry,
was named UK Young Engineer of the Year for his
‘agri-hammer’ – a hydraulic machine to prevent farm
accidents. Sarah Sobka, from Sheffield High School
became UK Young Scientist of the Year after impressing
judges with her project to develop a treatment for
cystic fibrosis.
The impact of
The Big Bang Fair
Among visitors aged 11 to 19
significantly more than the
national average felt that
a career in engineering was
desirable (61% compared to
43%). 85% of the key audience
of 11 to 14 year olds learnt
a lot and nearly 60% of young
visitors used the opportunity
to speak to someone
about careers.
“The Big Bang Fair encourages
young people to understand
what science and maths and
technology can mean in life
as well as in the classroom.”
David Cameron, Prime Minister
National Science +
Engineering Competition
The Big Bang Fair:
a high profile
“Seeing engineering in a
real life environment is
helpful because it makes
you think about how
you’re going to use it.”
Visitor
“Both visitors and
exhibitors make
a lasting impression
on each other.”
Emma Bartley, The Times
