Cambridge and Science
The Cambridge Science Festival
Every year, the University hosts a Science Festival in the city, when the general public has the opportunity to visit some of the University's famous laboratories and departments, and hear from world leading researchers. As part of the Festival, a wide number of activities and events take place specifically for children; the Festival also has its own website which contains links to ‘fun and games’, and videos and podcasts, so children, teachers and parents unable to visit the Festival can still sample some of what went on. Find out more about the Cambridge Science Festival.
