The theme for British Science Week 2026 is ‘Curiosity: what’s your question?’. Our full activity packs, arriving in January 2026, are bursting with fun, hands-on ideas to spark curiosity and inspire young minds to explore the world around them.
CREST
The packs also include a wide range of fun, hands-on activities, and loads of useful information about running CREST Awards, British Science Association’s flagship STEM education programme. Many of the activities are suitable for CREST Awards, so if you enjoyed using them, why not think about running a CREST Award? CREST Awards give students real-life experience of being a scientist while getting introduced to STEM project work. They are nationally accredited and are a fun, yet educational way to get your children involved in STEM subjects.
