The Big Bang Fair – the UK’s largest celebration of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) for young people – is set to return this summer. Run by EngineeringUK, the annual fair is designed to ignite a passion for STEM and showcase career possibilities in these sectors. Taking place on 19-21 June 2024 at the Birmingham NEC, the fair will welcome students aged 10 to 13 from across the UK. Schools and home educators can register for free tickets to attend.

A diverse range of employers will come together at the 2024 fair to bring engineering and tech careers to life – from sectors that include aerospace, rail, automotive and energy. This gives young people the opportunity to meet STEM professionals, as well as join exciting live shows and inspiring career panels. Almost 16,000 young people attended the fair last year, along with 2300 teachers.
