Science Oxford hosts live science-inspired events
programmes across Oxfordshire including talks,
performance, film, workshops, debate and festivals.
It operates a popular Saturday Science Club, family
shows and hosts workshops at schools. Anything
and everything is fair game for receiving the Science
Oxford treatment; the centre’s events, which are
hosted throughout the year, will pique your curiosity
and fire your imagination, whether it’s examining
the probability and psychology of poker or teaching
under 12s about the science behind food in a hands-
on tasting class. Science Oxford isn’t afraid to dabble
in comedy either – provided it’s on a science tip of
course. WiFi Wars, for example, is a live comedy
game show where everyone gets to join in the fun.
Bring your smartphone and grab a slice of the action.
Major pillars of the scientific community are proudly
supported and amplified by Science Oxford. The
centre has helped to broadcast Richard Dawkins
in conversation with Lord John Krebs to celebrate
the 40th anniversary of The Selfish Gene. Schools
are regularly encouraged to engage with the centre
throughout term time, including The Big Science
Event which is open to pupils across Oxfordshire and
Buckinghamshire. Secondary schools and colleges
are also supported, with interactive science shows
and projects devised specifically to inspire teen
audiences. Outstanding students are recognised
and celebrated via the centre’s Young Scientist
of the Year award, which is open to exceptional
Physics, Chemistry and Biology students from year
13. Business leaders are also encouraged to engage
with schools, which hold the inventors and scientists
of tomorrow; STEM businesses in particular are part
of Science Oxford’s mission to educate and inspire.
The charitable organisation operates out of Oxford
Centre for Innovation, situated in the city centre,
which provides flexible office space, virtual offices
and meeting rooms in a fully connected and serviced
environment.
