Science Show Database
Filter by: Audience Category
Interested in getting a science show to come to your venue? Science shows are a fun way to get your local community involved in Science Week. The following database is compiled so that you can browse through the profiles listed and if you would like them to come to your community centre / library / school etc. you can contact them directly yourself. (The database is not designed as a booking system.)
To navigate the database you can search for shows by subject (e.g. chemistry) or audience type (e.g. primary level) so that you can find the best fit for your event.
Enjoy the fun!
