Science Festivals
The Centre for Public Engagement (CPE) is sponsoring a Queen Mary booth at both the Lambeth Country Show (7–8 June 2025) and New Scientist Live (18–20 October 2025)!
We’ll be running a series of STEM-focused, table-top, hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity and showcase the fascinating research happening across Queen Mary. From mini-experiments to interactive demonstrations, visitors of all ages will have the chance to explore science, technology, engineering, and medicine in fun and accessible ways.
Come say hello!
