Dear all,

 

Taking place from 10-19 March 2017, British Science Week is the largest grassroots celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths in the UK.

 

This year we have teamed up with the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy to provide funding for schools in challenging circumstances to organise their own events. Applications are closing soon, so now is the time to apply for a grant or promote the scheme to your networks.

 

There are two types of grant:

• Kick Start grant: a grant of up to £300 for your school to run an activity during British Science Week
• Kick Start More grant: a grant of up to £700 for your school to host a science event or activity which involves your students and the local community.

 

Schools can use the grant to fund a wide range of activity, including booking a science presenter, organising a science fair, purchasing resources for cross-curricular activities or taking a class on a trip.

 

“‘It was just one of the most awesomest experiences’ one of the children said to me. It was wonderful.”
