What can I expect at The Big Bang South West 2012?
Here's a cheeky look at some of the exciting activities that will be taking place...
Present the weather forecast in the Met Office's mock-up TV studio! What will the weather be like today? What will the weather be like in 2050? Learn about the ins and outs of renewable energy - solar, wind, hydro and wave technologies - inside Camp Kernow's inflatable globe.
Take a look down a microscope and see the tiny creatures that sharks feed on at The National Marine Aquarium or learn about all things Marine Technology with Babcock Marine.
Compare conversations with computer "chatbots" old and new. Exeter University are bringing ‘Eliza’, an early chatbot computer and Enga, a advanced chatbot who learns with every conversation she has!
This is by no means all - there are around 60 different exhibitors at the Fair, small and large, local and national. Find out which companies are exhibiting.
There will also be a number of competitions that students can get stuck into, including The National Science & Engineering Competition, the CREST Awards (Creativity in science, technology, engineering and maths), the best STEM communicator prize and others...
The Big Bang South West will put the "Big" in The Big Bang, with over 100 judges at the event, over 1,500 young people, more than 150 student projects being showcased and 10 nominations to compete nationally for the best student projects!
