Day-by-day our science week edges closer and on Friday 4th April our schools and STEM Ambassadors attending the onboarding meeting.
Presentations were provided by Philip Todd, MSSW Chair who introduced the event and gave an overview of the weeks leading up to ‘the week’.
Richard Cox from BHBPA delivered details on our sponsors and how the judging process works.
Sarah Cook of OnyxGeo gave an insight into being a STEM Ambassador and how she has interacted with the schools previously.
We finished the session matching schools with their STEM Ambassador…of course we had to keep the suspense going a little longer as they were shown one-by-one!

We’re beyond excited to announce that Science Week 2025 is officially set for May 19th – 23rd! 
While you don’t see them, our dedicated committee is hard at work behind the scenes – hunting down brilliant STEM Ambassadors, securing exhibitors, and preparing an epic final day celebration of curiosity and discovery.
Celebrating 10 Years of STEM Magic!
That’s right – 2025 marks our 10th Anniversary! And we’re pulling out all the stops to make this the best one yet. An incredible number of schools across Mid Sussex are taking part, making this year’s event truly special.
Due to time (and space!) constraints, we’ve had to limit participation to 12 schools for the grand finale – if only we had a bigger venue and more hours in the day!
Get Involved – Be Part of the Action!
Do you have a cool, hands-on exhibit for our Friday event? While the student projects are being judged, we’ll have companies running exciting activities for small groups of children (12-18 students per session, lasting 10-15 minutes).
Past exhibits have included:
- Radio fault-finding challenges
- Marshmallow vacuum experiments
- DIY torch-building
- Sports science demos
- Engineering challenges
- Mind-blowing product science displays
If you’ve got an awesome STEM activity, we’d love to hear from you!
