The Showfloor

The Big Bang Fair showfloor offers a unique opportunity for your students or children to interact with and understand - at first hand - how they can make an impact on the world.

Through practical and fun activities, like designing a solar powered water heater, exploring radioactivity with a real Geiger counter or experimenting with a bionic eye, they can see where their classroom subjects could lead. They’ll also be encouraged to ask about everything from the first principles of physics to how to go about applying for apprenticeships, jobs or university courses.

Each of our zones, Go Global, Energise, The Next Factor, Body Talk, Making Trax and Farm to Fork addresses different real-life world issues - from the challenges facing our global village to rising energy demands and from the competition for new ideas and innovation to the huge task of improving world health. You can meet some of the leading companies and organisations - face-to-face - and talk to people already working in some of the most interesting jobs around and find out what part you, your students or children can play in our future.
