The Big Bang East Midlands is a free annual event open to 11-18 year olds in the region who have completed a project or activity in any field of science, technology, engineering or maths. If you or your team have worked on an amazing project or invented something new then you should enter! 

This year's event will take place on Wednesday 7th July 2010 at Loughborough University. 

All entrants will have their own stand to present their hard work. Projects will be judged, prizes awarded and the most impressive entries will go on to compete in the National Science & Engineering Competition held at the national event in 2011. 

The Big Bang East Midlands will feature the regional finals of both Young Engineer for Britain and CREST Awards, and schools are invited to enter one or both competitions. Regional STEM clubs wishing to attend and be considered for participation in the national event in 2011 are also welcome. 

Outside of the judging and exhibiting, there will be several hands-on, interactive activities and workshops, allowing you to explore and experience the power of science, engineering and technology.
