The Oxford Brookes Science Bazaar Beyond took place on Saturday 18th February 2023 This FREE event is open to all. Fun for all the family and most suitable for 5-12 years.
This event will be held at our Headington Campus (OX3 0BP) in our Clerici building, accessible just off of Gipsy Lane.
Join us on campus to meet our staff and students, explore our interactive stands, learn something new, and to get stuck into our many activities!
We will be following the British Science Week (10-19 March 2023) theme of “Connections”. Where you can explore topics such as; how all living things are connected through evolution; how the internet connects people across the world; how we are connected to our planet's health; how our brains are connected to, and therefore control our bodies; and much, much more!
There will also be a relaxed autism-friendly early opening from 9:30am - 11:30am before the main event begins at 11.30.
The festival will open to all from 11:30am - 4pm. Be prepared to explore, listen, watch, build, experiment, get messy and most of all have FUN! Expect to see Science Bazaar Beyond regulars Bright Sparks Science and Crocodiles of the World as well as exciting activities led by our staff and students! You can also get creative with LEGO with The BRICK People or discover comic book illustration with Neill Cameron!
We hope to see you there!
