Rugby High School and Ashlawn School presented their second annual Science Festival last Saturday.

The aim of the Science festival was to provide the Rugby community with inspirational and informative Science learning opportunities delivered by two outstanding local schools.

Many young students and their families from across Rugby came to enjoy a variety of FREE Science related workshops and activities provided by enthusiastic scientists from across the county with the single aim of helping youngsters to see Science and Maths as exciting, interesting and most of all fun.

There were Paramedics teaching the basics of CPR, Criminologists advising how to investigate murder scenes, Sports Science and Maths Mazes to test our physical and mental capabilities, plus creatures of all sorts from parasites to dinosaurs!

Sir Isaac Newton was on hand with tales of historical experiments...



Students were encouraged to experience the laws of physics... especially gravity!



Sweets will never be the same again knowing what goes into them...



Some students got very close to nature...



Rugby High School and Ashlawn School are Science Specialist Schools and are constantly on the lookout for ways to bring this to the community, if you are interested in working with the schools to organise an event please contact Liselle Dixon on 01788 573425.
