Bradford Science Festival 2021

In 2021, Bradford Science Festival returned to the museum and the city with a life-size killer whale, LEGO challenges, pumpkin trails and spectacular light and sound displays!

The festival took place during October half term, with events at the National Science and Media Museum, in the city centre and, for the first time, at community venues across Bradford district. We explored four fascinating themes: the science of sound; how science is tackling the climate crisis and saving the world; local science in Bradford; and careers in STEM.
