Glasgow Science Festival (GSF) have a class-worth of kits available on short-term loan for a period of one week. Kits can be booked online via our booking system during the period November 2025 to March 2026. Please book kit as soon as possible.

All Cluster Challenges need to have taken place and winners submitted to GSF by Wednesday 18th March 2026.

Where requested, please enter Cluster School name and Cluster person contact details, along with details of the person completing the form. No payment is required.

Kit Loan Rules

One slot only should be booked per Cluster. Cluster leads should coordinate kit transfer between schools if required.

Each bag provided is an individual kit. We ask that kits are returned as loaned, ie:

• No pieces swapped between bags
• All models fully dismantled
• No additional items (eg paper, pencils, string) returned with the kit

All kits should be checked to ensure they are complete prior to returning them to the University of Glasgow. If kits are not returned in a reusable state, we will be unable to loan to the school in the future.
