Gatwick Airport Helps Celebrate STEM Education

Gatwick Airport is headline sponsor for the Big Bang Fair South East – the UK’s largest celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) for young people, taking place this month.

More than 10,000 children from 200 schools are expected to attend the fair, which will also host the regional heats for the prestigious Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers of the Year competition.

Gatwick Airport’s community engagement manager, Paula Aldridge, said: “Gatwick is passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers and this event gives us an opportunity.”

This is the third year that Gatwick Airport has been the lead sponsor for the Big Bang Fair South East, which will take place on June 26 and 27 at the South of England Showground near Ardingly.

Bronagh Liddicoat from STEM Sussex, says: “Big Bang Fair South East, with Gatwick’s input, will support the Government’s new careers strategy by enabling young people to meet scientists and engineers.”
