Annual Science Jamboree
Since November 2016, University of Liverpool undergraduate students have welcomed over 1000 young people to get “hands-on” with Science. Not hampered by lockdown, undergraduates provided online science activities and lab-in-a-box kits to reach another 1500 young people in 2020 and 2021 and awarded them with their own (now, very collectable) Science Jamboree badges.
2016 - Inaugural Science Jamboree a great success: 250 young people visit the laboratories and do hands-on STEM activities.
2017 - Science Jamboree attracts record crowd: Two full days of activities, allows us to reach 600 young people with STEM activities.
