Success in 2009

The Big Bang 2009

Over 6,500 people attended The Big Bang 2009. Over three days at the QE2 Centre, London, nearly 5,000 young people, and more than 1,500 teachers, politicians, exhibitors, sponsors and members of the science and engineering community witnessed the UK’s biggest celebration of science and engineering.

Sir Anthony Cleaver, Co-patron of The Big Bang, said:

“The Big Bang lived up to its name. To have been able to give nearly 5,000 young people the opportunity to look at science and engineering with fresh eyes and explore the exciting opportunities on offer in the sector, is a tremendous achievement. I thank the nearly fifty organisations from the public and private sectors for coming together to give so many young people a boost towards something that might just change their lives.”

The Big Bang will be an annual event and plans are already underway for next year when The Big Bang will be in Manchester. The Big Bang 2010 will be even bigger and the organisers hope that over 10,000 young people will witness the UK’s biggest celebration of science and engineering. Details of The Big Bang 2010 will be available soon on this site.
