The Manchester Science Festival got several mentions in local news reports on Thursday 16th and Friday 17th October.
The main hook of each was the guest lecturer at Moorside High, Steve Pearce, who has recently been commissioned by NASA to develop a potion which resembles the smell of spacce. Each report mentions the Manchester Science Festival which is great!

Schools Tour Complete
The 10 day schools tour finished this week and was a HUGE success.
In the period leading up to the festival, a range of key partner organisations delivered a series of major one-day events in each Greater Manchester local authority. The pupils had chance to particupate in an interactive, demonstration-packed lecture by a high-profile scientist; a carousel of interactive activities; and a “hot news” workshop held by the Manchester Museum.
During the workshop part of the “How Science Works” events, groups of students produced exhibits based on a hot science topic which is in the news. The best of these will receive a prize for their school (kindly provided by Phillip Harris) and the chance to have their work exhibited at Museum of Science and Industry during the Festival. See our listings section for further details.
The 10 day schools tour finished this week and was a HUGE success. May thanks go to all involved including: STEMNET; the Universities of Bolton, Manchester, and Salford; the Manchester Museum; the Royal Institution; the Museum of Science and Industry; The BA; the Healthcare Scientist Network; and The Greater Manchester STEM Centre.
