DESCRIPTION:menmen[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The 2025 Swindon Festival of Tomorrow will be held from 10 to 22 February. Last year\, the event drew around 23\,000 visitors\, including people of all ages and backgrounds. It was especially popular with families who don’t usually take part in science-related activities. \nFind out more about the Swindon Festival of Tomorrow on their website. \n  \nThese are the opportunities to participate: \n\nSchools Programme (10-14 February): Engaging online shows with science communicators for EYFS\, KS1\, and KS2 students\, complemented by virtual and in-school workshops. Proposals with interactive elements or follow-up activities for teachers are welcome.\nAbout Town Programme (15-22 February): Events and activities that attract audiences who typically don’t engage with science\, research\, tech\, or innovation. Interactive and participatory activities such as workshops\, tours\, art installations\, or performances are particularly welcome. Family-friendly events are especially relevant for the February half-term\, though evening events for adults are also of interest.\nHybrid Talks and Panels (15-22 February): In-person and hybrid discussions\, interviews\, and presentations for adults and teens interested in science and technology. Proposals that highlight new research\, offer fresh perspectives\, or engage audiences in discussions about relevant cultural and societal issues are sought.\n\nThe deadline for these is 6 October.
