The theme for British Science Week (6–15 March 2026) is all about curiosity.

To celebrate, we invited our members to share stories around the theme of curiosity. We heard from ASE member Jo Montgomery about what curiosity means in her.

Yesterday we explored moss, found out some amazing facts and even looked closely in a mini moss safari in #NatureQuest

In #STEAMExplorers we investigated water resistance and renewable energy, making models of water turbines and tweaking designs.

Really interesting article on the β€˜leaky pipeline’ and how it’s about so much more than encouraging girls into STEM subjects.

Happy #ValentinesDay
Why not share some LOVE for science and STEM ?
Get curious with chromatography, explore dissolving, density and diffusion, find your heart beat and fold an origami heart ❀
What science will you discover?
