Here we were earlier, prepping for the final day of #BigBangFair! We've had fun showcasing the Hydro-JULES programme.
Over the last 3 days, our team welcomed pupils from 400+ schools to our stand!
Inspiring to see so many young people explore how STEM can tackle environmental challenges 🧪💧

The Hydro-JULES team have been busy on the second day of the #BigBangFair at the NEC Birmingham 🧪.
This is the UK’s biggest celebration of #STEM for schools. Our exhibits include the thirsty food activity, an augmented reality sandbox and an EGM gas analyser used for monitoring carbon dioxide!
It's day two of The Big Bang Fair! 🌳
Thank you so much to all the pupils who joined us yesterday at our woodland glade. 💚
