This year, Sheffield is hosting its first ever Festival of Science and Engineering from 10^th – 24^th March. Months of meetings, planning and hard work have come to fruition as the Festival encompasses the hugely successful National Science and Engineering Week (NSEW).

 
Sheffield is rightly proud of its two Universities and the two have worked closely together, along with local museums and industry-education groups across the city to create this extravaganza of science and engineering.
 
Take a look at the large programme of public events on offer, catering for all ages and tastes. http://www.scienceweeksy.org.uk/events.htm
 
NSEW is a UK-wide celebration of science and engineering, organised by the British Science Association. You can locate all NSEW activities near you here http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/national-science-engineering-week
 
It is a great way to get involved with promoting chemistry in your local area. So what are you waiting for?!
