Invention & discovery
Kicking off on 15 March 2013, this year NSEW explores 'Invention &
discovery'. Let's celebrate the citizen
scientist and inventor! Everything around us has at some
point been invented. Everyday problems lead to new innovations to
find solutions.
Look out on Facebook and Twitter for updates and
competitions.

Engineering Week explores 'Invention & discovery'.
Anyone can organise an event or activity for the
Week and we provide tailored ideas and supporting
resources to help you with the planning.

- for special educational needs groups of all
ages: 'Super science', a symbol-supported activity pack.
Free packs full of
science and engineering hands-on activities and projects are
produced each year for National Science
& Engineering Week, and are available to download
all year round.
- Over 300 easy-to-run activities suitable for
at home or school.
- Activities are curriculum-linked with
teachers/organiser notes.
- The activity packs are designed to be carried out at
