Yesterday, (Saturday 18th May) STEM In The Park returned back to the Memorial Gardens, Crawley.  This free annual event attracted 4,300+ visitors last year and yesterday saw young people and adults alike being excited by Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths shows along with interactive experiments and engaging explanations by STEM communicators and educators.

Featuring a pop-up planetarium, drone flying, AI-robots and career advice from local employers & High Education Institutions. The focus was about getting children excited about STEM early in life and showing them how fun and rewarding a career in STEM sectors can be. This brilliant event was supported by Crawley Borough Council and London Gatwick and delivered by The STEM Hub.
