Preston

The Preston Branch is run by a group of volunteers all united by a common passion - science and communicating it to the public. We plan to hold events ranging from SciBar style talks to panel events, debates to science busking with something to appeal to everyone. Eventually we would like to progress to delivering workshop style events in schools and to the public, covering a range of topics from the vastness of space to the fascinating organisms of microbiology. We are a new branch and excited to start delivering outreach events to all ages, engaging curiosity and spreading the STEM message throughout our county.

We are always on the lookout for volunteers, so if you would like to join us please get in touch!
