A little background
Created by Professor Brian Cox CBE and Lord Andrew Mawson OBE in 2012, the amazing Science Summer School programme aims to make Britain the best place to do science and engineering, by inspiring the UK’s next generation of young scientists, engineers and inventors. North Star is South Yorkshire’s part of this fantastic Science School initiative.

So what is North Star?
North Star Science School is an amazing one-day live event for school children in years 8 and 9. The vision is to combine science with curiosity and play to stimulate and inspire the next generation to consider the fascinating range of careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics & Manufacturing) subjects. We do this by showcasing the cutting edge of science and engineering, and promoting innovation and opportunity in the South Yorkshire region. In a blended programme, the day will include inspirational talks from leading scientists and engineers, and students will engage in fun, creative activities, experiments and hands-on interactive workshops delivered by our partners.

Why South Yorkshire?

It is THE place in the UK for people to connect, co-locate, collaborate and innovate; attracting business and investment from all over the world.
