🔬 British Science Week 2026
From 6–15 March 2026, British Science Week returns to celebrate , , and across the UK — inspiring the next generation to explore where STEM could take them.
This year’s Smashing Stereotypes campaign is now live, featuring eight new professionals who challenge outdated ideas of what a scientist “looks like” or how a science career begins. With over 40 stories spanning chefs, product designers, fitness professionals and more, the campaign powerfully demonstrates that science is for everyone — regardless of background or career path.

Local Inspiration – Manchester
Here in the North West, the Faculty of Science and Engineering at The University of Manchester is launching the celebrations with a FunLab Trafford Centre Takeover on 7–8 March at the Trafford Centre.
Families can explore, play and discover with free hands-on activities — from meeting robots and handling real dinosaur bones to taking part in exciting experiments designed to spark curiosity and creativity.
There’s also the opportunity to hear from renowned physicist Brian Cox during British Science Week as part of the ATOM Festival of Science & Technology in Abingdon-on-Thames — an inspiring reminder of where a passion for science can lead.
At Klick, we see how well-designed science laboratories can help break down barriers and encourage engagement in STEM subjects. By creating specialist learning environments that support experimentation, collaboration and innovation, we’re proud to play a small part in helping more young people see themselves as future scientists.
