We’re happy to run a brainstorming session to generate ideas / design an event before you apply. 

 

We’re also offering spaces within the BLAST Marquee at Manchester Carnival on 11th and 12th August at Simmerdown on the 12th August, for hands-on STEM and arts activities. This is ideal for STEM ambassadors/professionals, students or artists to showcase their projects or areas of study and work. 

 

There are also opportunities to volunteer. 

 

Please select the form that suits your interest or get in touch to discuss your idea.
