British Science Week: what are your plans?
British Science Week starts on Friday, 6 March 2026, and finishes on Sunday, 15 March 2026.
The annual event celebrates science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and is the perfect opportunity to share amateur radio with new audiences.
A number of clubs are hosting events that are open to the public, ranging from a practical skills night with Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society, through to the Lincolnshire Portable Radio Group who are delivering a youth event with the International Bomber Command Centre.
Several groups and organisations are looking to arrange skeds during the week.
These include Crowthorne and Wokingham Without NMI Men’s Shed with Bracknell Amateur Radio Club, and also South Derbyshire and Ashby Woulds Amateur Radio Group.
Get involved with British Science Week by attending an event, or by arranging a sked with one of these groups.
If you haven’t planned anything yet, you can get involved by doing the RSGB Riding the wave (PDF) activity with your friends and family.
Find this worksheet, along with numerous other ideas and resources, by going to the RSGB British Science Week pages at rsgb.org/bsw.
