Trinity partnered with the University of Bath to deliver an inspiring two-day Science Fair during Science Week, welcoming young learners from local primary and secondary schools to experience hands-on scientific exploration.

On the first day, Communicating Physics students from Bath University guided 60 Year 7 pupils from Oasis Academy Temple Quarter through interactive physics demonstrations at the Trinity Centre. The engaging approach sparked curiosity and enthusiasm among the students, who eagerly participated in experiments designed to illustrate fundamental physics concepts in an accessible format.

The second day featured Rob Olins, resident artist from Bath University's Science Department, who along with his team worked with 50 Year 5 and 6 pupils from St Nicholas of Tolentine Primary School. The young scientists explored the properties of light and sound through impressive large-scale installations in the Main Hall.

The fair successfully demonstrated how interactive, playful approaches to science education can inspire young minds.

Special recognition goes to the Communicating Physics students who facilitated the activities and connected with the schoolchildren. We wish them success in their upcoming examinations!
