BA FESTIVAL OF SCIENCE WORKSHOPS

Every Sept. the British Association runs a week of workshops, talks and public demonstrations called the BA Festival of Science (including BAYS - BA Young Scientist activities). The festival is held in a major UK city and this year it was held in Glasgow. For the last five years or so, The Creative Science Centre has been running workshops with the VEGA Science Trust at the festival:
