British Science Week, run by the British Science Association, is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths, featuring entertaining and engaging events and activities across the UK for people of all ages.

British Science Week 2026 runs from 6-15 March, and this year’s theme is ‘Curiosity: what’s your question?’.

British Science Week provides a platform to stimulate and support teachers, STEM professionals, science communicators and the general public to produce and participate in STEM events and activities.

Anyone can organise an event or activity, and the British Science Association helps organisers plan by providing free activity and support resources. We welcome and support any type of organiser, from schools to community groups, from parents to large organisations. The resulting programme of events is a hugely varied and eclectic mix.

The stakeholders’ pack includes information about how you can support British Science Week and use this annual calendar moment as an opportunity to highlight your own messages, talk about your work and showcase your activities. Please remember to tag your content using #BSW26
