The Big Bang at School Blueprint programme is aimed at young people aged 11–14, with a particular focus on those from groups underrepresented in science and engineering.
Run by EngineeringUK and supported by The STEM Hub, this initiative gives schools the opportunity to apply for a £650 bursary. The funding can be used to support Neon activities or to create an engaging and enjoyable Big Bang at School event tailored to your students.
Successful applicants can host an inspiring STEM day featuring exciting science and engineering activities, hands-on workshops, and collaborative project work. These events are designed to spark curiosity, raise aspirations, and help young people see themselves in future STEM careers.
The Blueprint programme provides insights and connections to help your school organise your own STEM event, launching an extraordinary journey for your students. Support and guidance are also offered to ensure your event is both memorable and worthwhile.
You can view some of the amazing Big Bang at School 2024/25 events organised by us on our report pages.
