SciFest is back for 2024!

SciFest is an annual festival held at the University of Wolverhampton with the aim of increasing aspiration through fun interactive means in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM). Since 2012, we have provided school learners and the wider community with the largest science and engineering festival at any university in the West Midlands outside the British Science Festival. SciFest brings together external partners from business, professional organizations, museums, engagement practitioners and staff from a variety of University Facilities to organize and deliver two days of immersive informal engagement in all aspects of STEM, health careers and the arts. This STEM festival encourages the exploration and discovery of learning and careers through activity and consists of numerous drop-in activities housed in the courtyard discovery area and bookable activities in rooms around the University of Wolverhampton City Campus.

Saturday 29th June 2024 is Community Day! Where learners and adults of all ages have the opportunity to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM) as they have never seen before. There will be drop-in activities within the Courtyard and pre-bookable workshops and shows located within the University at City Campus.
