It was so lovely to bring together our incredible community of activity exhibitors, volunteers, and sponsors✨

Seeing everyone in one space - sharing ideas, having meaningful conversations, and building new connections - was a real highlight. These moments are such an important part of what makes the Science Bazaar so special, creating opportunities to collaborate, inspire one another, and shape an event that truly connects with our audiences.

We’re so grateful to everyone who is part of this journey with us. Your enthusiasm, creativity, and support are what make the Science Bazaar what it is.

We’re already looking forward to what we can create together next!

Behind the scenes of the Science Bazaar Celebration Event 🧪🎉

We put a lot of thought into creating this event, making it as enjoyable and special as possible for everyone who joined us. 💙

From the décor to the finer details, everything was designed so our sponsors, volunteers and activity leaders could not only have fun, but also feel recognised and appreciated for the incredible work they’ve done.

We wanted it to feel like more than just an event - something a little more special and well-deserved ✨

This event was also planned and delivered by our Events Management placement student, giving them the opportunity to take full ownership of a project from start to finish after co-delivering the main Science Bazaar. A brilliant way to build hands-on experience and bring everything together! 🎓

🎉🧪 Lots of smiles and successes at the Science Bazaar Celebration Event! 🧪🎉

Last week we brought together our sponsors, volunteers and activity leaders to celebrate the success of this year’s Science Bazaar - which welcomed over 10,000 attendees!

The evening was a chance to recognise the amazing people behind the activities that inspired so many young minds through hands-on science, creativity and discovery.

There were awards, drinks (including a colour-changing mocktail!), a buffet, a professional DJ, a photobooth and plenty of good vibes as we reflected on an incredible event together.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the Science Bazaar such a success. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💙

🚁 Drone Football & The Dawn of AI at the Science Bazaar!🚁

We’re so excited to be welcoming Drone Football to this year’s Science Bazaar - a fast-paced, hands-on experience combining drones, teamwork and seriously cool tech.

We’ll also be joined by Oxford Innovative Education for the launch of their new book, The Dawn of AI, exploring how artificial intelligence is shaping the world around us.

From flying drones to discovering how AI is changing the future, there’s plenty to see, try and think about.

If you’re curious about science, technology, robotics or what the future might look like - this is one you won’t want to miss.
