Science year is a 12-month packed calendar of events, projects and resources, designed to stimulate the imagination about science and technology.

It's for everyone, but it's focused particularly on people between the ages of 10 and 19 and the adults around them - especially their teachers. Science Year isn't about test-tubes, voltmeters and bunsen burners though. It's about raising awareness of the wide and wonderful world of subjects and careers that are underpinned by science and technology.

Science Year is managed by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA), with their partners the Association for Science Education (ASE) and the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BA).
