For the third consecutive year, BAE Systems is sponsoring the Big Bang Fair which will be taking place from 10-12 March 2011 at the Excel Centre, London. This year, the Big Bang Fair plays host to some of the top organisations in science, engineering, technology and maths and is the UK's biggest celebration of science and engineering, with around 25,000 students expected to attend.
The Fair celebrates young people's achievements and is designed to inspire young people about science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), at school and beyond. The event is also open to members of the public with school age children on Saturday 12 March. If you would like to register for tickets please visit http://www.thebigbangfair.co.uk/book_tickets_now.cfm
Visitors to our joint BAE Systems and Royal Air Force stand will get the chance to meet BAE Systems' robot mascot Brains, see our 'Secret Life of Robots' Theatre show, fly in a Typhoon cockpit and discover more about the 'Future of Flight' with our unmanned aerial vehicle exhibits, Demon and Taranis.
Furthermore, young and old visitors to the stand will be able to play BAE Systems' new computer game, 'Brains' Atomic Adventures.' The game has been developed to support our School outreach programme in the UK and to encourage children aged 8-14 to study science and technology based subjects at GCSE. The game is available to download free of charge from both Apple and Android application markets. A pc version is also available here.
