BIG BANG FAIR

The Big Bang Fair is the biggest single celebration of STEM in the UK and the 14 year 10 students from Sunbury Manor were just a small part of the 8,000 school children who attended this event on the day we went. As well as having time to wander round the site and collect all the freebies from the 150+ stalls, the pupils were able to ask questions about potential careers, as well as see the vast array of options available to them. Our workshop involved wearing protective equipment whilst we set up agar plates, diagnosed patients and provided effective treatment with the Thermoscientific company. Our show entailed seeing birds fly while learning about how they evolved to do so, as well as identifying those members of the audience who suffered  from Ornithophobia, once of which was a one of our group! We were blessed with excellent weather for the first time in years which made it an even better day for discussions in the grounds.
