Summer Science Exhibition 2025
The annual exhibition is a showcase of some of the cutting-edge science and technology in the UK. It’s designed to be suitable for a range ages. And the idea is that you can meet the scientists themselves in person and see the R&D they’re working on. Basically, engaging interactive activities.
This year the event runs 1 – 6 July 2025.
Scientists
The organisers, The Royal Society, write:
“This year, come face-to-face with live spiders and walk in an elephant’s footsteps to uncover how vibrations help animals of every shape and size communicate and sense their environment. Get hands on with a new surgical sensation: a glove that has been designed to measure the smallest of forces to help train surgeons more precisely, affordably, and safely.”
“Meet scientists at the heart of quantum research to discover how quantum technologies are transforming our futures, from helping us in our daily lives through the GPS in our phones to developing computers that can solve problems beyond the reach of the world’s most powerful supercomputers.”
Among the 13 flagship exhibits, for example, is EntangleCam (above) – viewing the ultra-mysterious phenomenon of quantum entanglement. Or “smile powered pop music” with PhotSYNTH, creating music via facial expressions, courtesy of an innovative HCI…
The full programme will arrive in the coming weeks.
Note there is a “Quiet entry” on Sunday 6 July, 9:30am -10:30am.
