Everything you need to plan a successful visit to The Big Bang Fair.
Whether you're organising a trip for the first time or returning with a new group of students, you'll find practical guidance, resources and support to help you make the most of your visit.
Supporting conversations in school
The Big Bang Fair helps students explore future pathways in science, technology, engineering and maths through hands-on activities and encounters with real professionals.
Teachers tell us that attending supports careers education, broadens students' understanding of STEM opportunities and helps challenge stereotypes about who can work in STEM.
You can use our evaluation data and programme information to demonstrate the value of attending within your school's enrichment and careers programme.
Planning your visit
The Big Bang Fair is designed to make it easy for schools to access inspiring STEM experiences and careers learning opportunities.
Before attending, you'll be able to access information on travel, timings, accessibility, risk assessments and everything you need to prepare students for the day.
