Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face and it can feel overwhelming. But there are thousands of scientists, researchers and innovators across the STEM subjects working to create a better world and reduce the impact of climate change.

At this evening event, if you're aged 13+ you can discover how you could become someone working to save the planet as a climate innovator.

The evening starts in the Theatre with talks from experts working within the climate sector. You'll then get the chance to ask our panel of experts all the questions you can think of.

You'll then be free to explore the range of demonstrations and activities around the building with scientists working in a range of different areas of STEM and discover leading-edge scientific research from around the UK.

We also have a climate event on the morning of the same day, which you can see here.

This event is suggested for ages 13+. This event is designed to be enjoyed by adults and young people together. All young people under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by a paying adult.
