EDUCATION AND OUTREACH The Science Festival’s education and outreach programme continues to grow and remains a key focus for the organisation year round. We currently reach a quarter of Scotland’s primary schools every year.
Generation Science Generation Science, our touring programme of workshops and shows, has been bringing science to life in schools across Scotland for over 20 years. In 2014 the Generation Science tour reached over 58,000

pupils in Scotland, delivering almost 1,500 shows and workshops. In 2014, our brand new show Space Base took pupils on a journey through the solar system in our travelling planetarium.
Show was excellent. Presenters engaged pupils from start to finish with their enthusiasm. Excellent variety of activities e.g. singing, dance, and experimenting. Thank you! Live for It! Teacher, Castle Kennedy Primary School
I thought the science show was absolutely fantastic and exciting – it also taught me a lot. P5/6 Pupil, EdinBarnet Primary School
Thank you for coming to our school with your planetarium. I really enjoyed it and have learnt a lot more about space and planets. P6 Pupil, Luncarty Primary School
Our health and wellbeing workshop programme for children and young people, produced in collaboration with Diabetes Scotland, is now in its fourth year. Live for It! works with pupils over four school visits to encourage healthy lifestyle and behavioural changes. In 2014 this project saw 1,000 pupils at 18 schools, touring over nine weeks.

Education Sponsorship We are committed to providing access and equality across all our education and outreach activities. Thanks to continuing support from our sponsors and funders, this year, over a third of the Generation Science programme was delivered free of charge to schools, reaching

Established in 2000, Science Days attracts around 20,000 to 25,000 visitors annually. The event, primarily aimed at school children aged 8–16, ran over three days from 10 October–12 October. It was held in Europa-Park, Germany‘s biggest theme park, and featured a variety of science and technology activities from both local event providers and organisations from across the globe.
