National Science and Engineering Week in South Yorkshire

England (Yorkshire & the Humber)

09.03.2012 - 18.03.2012

The turning of the planet, travel around the world, and speeding molecules are among the topics at this year's National Science and Engineering Week, which will leave your head spinning.

The theme for this year's National Science and Engineering Week - which takes place from 9 - 18 March - is 'Our World In Motion', looking at the Earth, its inhabitants and societies, our bodies, speed machines, to even the tiniest molecules.

Organised regionally by Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield, in collaboration with schools, museums, industry and commerce, the festival is a national celebration of the very best in British research and innovation.

This year's programme includes a series of lectures, exhibitions and hands-on activities designed to bring members of the general public, schools, colleges and communities into contact with inspiring displays of science and technology.
