Bringing STEM To Your Community

As a charity we’re working hard to create a future where curiosity knows no limits. Where you live shouldn’t be a barrier to engaging with great science activities.

Throughout the year we bring fun, high-quality hands-on science out on the road and into your communities.

​Keep an eye on this page to find out where we’ll be next and how you can get involved with our fabulous and fun activities.

FOR COMMUNITY GROUPS

We’d love to offer our space to your community group, so why not come along and explore our space!  We’ll help you promote your time with us and hopefully attract further local interest in your group.

FOR SCHOOLS

We offer a number of special sessions for local schools to bring along a class or year group to the Pop-up Centre.

During your session, your pupils will enjoy a show run by our experienced Science Communicators, and a number of activities, plus plenty of time to explore our hands-on exhibits.

STEM in the Fens

We’re back! Find us in Horsefair Shopping Centre, Wisbech.

STEM in the Fens

We return to the old Argos unit in Horsefair Shopping Centre in Wisbech in November 2024.  Throughout the remainder of this year and next, we will continue to offer free, curriculum-based workshops and engaging, hands-on STEM exhibits.

This year’s focus is on deepening engagement with local schools and community groups across Wisbech and nearby areas, including March and Chatteris.  We will be open every Tuesday and Friday for school and community group visits.

Interested groups can contact us at schools@cambridgesciencecentre.org to book sessions.  Also, for the remainder of this year, we are very pleased to offer schools the opportunity to request free transport to and from their school to our Centre.

This project is generously funded by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
