Principal Hugh Bramwell said:
“Last year’s Lancashire Science Festival fringe event at Burnley College was a triumph. Thousands of excited children and their families came through our doors to enjoy a day of STEM-based fun activities and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. This year’s event is set to be bigger and better than ever, hosting a live stage show from the excellent Ministry of Science. We want to welcome all who want to come to this fun educational event. We’re looking forward to spending Saturday 17 June in the company of people who care as much about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as much as we do.”
