Scientists and engineers are joining forces to bring their knowledge of the weird and wonderful into the public arena during the Sheffield Festival of Science and Engineering, part of the National Science & Engineering Week 2014.
The festival, running from 14 to 23 March, is organised by Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield, and offers people the opportunity to learn more about the world-leading research taking place across the region. This year scientists will take visitors on a scientific ‘Tour de France’, a geological tour of Sheffield General Cemetery, and look at and why chocolate tastes good.
Events will be taking place across the region involving schools, colleges, libraries and museums, all offering communities a unique opportunity to learn more about the world-leading research taking place across the region.
All events are free but places must be reserved. For more information on these events, and many more taking place, please see the full programme which is available online at www.scienceweeksy.org.uk
