The Big Bang Fair 2025
The Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair took place on Tuesday 17 to Thursday 19 June 2025 at the NEC in Birmingham. Thousands of young people came along to discover hands-on workshops, activities and exciting live shows.
Team Hyett were there for all three days on behalf of EKO, (part of the Defence Nuclear Enterprise), and what a three days we had. Our stand was extremely popular, with hundreds of enthusiastic students coming to the stand to have a go and complete our Robotics challenge.
So many students were keen to hear about the future opportunities they could have by pursuing a career in a STEM subject - and being able to get hands on with a real-life STEM challenge helped to cement their interest.
There was something in the Hall to appeal to everyone. All activities, shows and workshops at The Big Bang Fair were designed specifically for young people aged 10 to 13 years old and included:
Design and innovation
Energy and transport
Environment and sustainability
Health and wellbeing
Technology and AI
Live shows
We had a really great time exhibiting and hopefully we will see you there next year!
