Welcome to ScienceGrrl

We are a grassroots UK network celebrating women and non-binary people in science, passing on our love of science to the next generation. Find out more about who we are and what we are doing.

What's On

In July 2023, we will be back at Bluedot Festival with an exhibition stand in the Star Field from Friday to Sunday. If you're there, please call in to explore our theme "The Wonder Of..." with new experiments every day.

In autumn 2023, we will be partnering with the Ogden Trust to deliver a science workshop for primary school teachers in Manchester, and launching the first edition of our primary science resources.

In spring 2024, we will be partnering with Story Collider to bring an evening of science storytelling to... yes, Manchester!

And in summer 2024, we hope to be back at Lancashire Science Festival and Bluedot, with a whole new array of adventures in science.
