Science Week returns from March 7th to 16th, 2025 and what a fantastic time to celebrate the importance of science in society. Science shows engage and enthuse pupils creating superb STEM memories. This year, Dr Ken embraces this year's theme of '‘Change and adapt’!' touring his environmental themed show "How to Save the Planet in 45 mins". The show distils complex environmental issues into actionable insights, showcasing how individuals and communities can adapt their lifestyles to reduce their carbon footprint and foster sustainable practices.
Science Week Themed Shows
How to Save the Planet in 45 mins - Discover the pollution of modern living and innovations for creating a sustainable planet. Will Dr Ken avoid being blown up by a rotting banana? Will he be distracted by fantastic plastic? Can he find planet friendly ways to make electricity? He may well be talking (about) rubbish, but it will make sense!!!

Funding for British Science Week
Dr Ken encourages school and community groups to apply for grants from the British Science Association which can be used to fund science activities during science week. For more details visit British Science Week grants.
During British Science Week Dr Ken normally travels around the country visiting primary and secondary schools with his science shows and workshops. He uses his experience as a performer and school teacher to make science both fun and inspiring whilst making sure activities are relevant to the science curriculum and other cross-curricular subjects.
Start planning your Dr Ken visit early to guarantee your preferred date. British Science Week 2025 will be a busy time in the calendar and many schools have extended the STEM celebration to include other days or weeks within March and throughout the year.
