Science Jamboree
The Science Jamboree brings together staff and students of the University with Cubs, Beavers, and Brownies from across Cheshire and Merseyside for a day of activities in the University’s Central Teaching Laboratories. The activities lead to the young people earning some of their ‘science-related’ activity badges including astronomer, digital citizen and experiment.

The 2025 Science Jamboree will take place on Saturday 29 November.
Bookings for the 2025 event have now closed.
The cost to attendees is £6 per registered Beaver and £8 per registered Cub / Brownie.
At one point, I looked around and all Beavers and adults were lying down looking up at the ‘sky’!
