New Scientist Live

The world’s greatest festival of ideas and discoveries is returning to London! New Scientist Live will take place on Saturday 12th October to Sunday 13th October at ExCeL London, showcasing the best in science, technology, and the world around us. 

Schools Day is also taking place on Monday 14th October so schoolchildren from all over the UK can attend with their classmates and teachers.  

The gigantic show floor has something for everyone: showcasing the latest research and technology, interactive activities for the whole family. Visitors will be able to ‘get their science on’ by meeting with the scientists, academics and up-and-coming researchers who are shaping the world around us including installations from Kings College London’s ‘hospital of the future’ where visitors can create 3D printed implants, enter a virtual reality heart, scrub in for futuristic surgeries and play a needle-tracking game to learn how surgeons navigate the inside of the human body to perform procedures like biopsies. 

The Royal Air Force will inspire visitors to take to the skies with an in-seat Red Arrow Hawk cockpit experience as well taking a turn at the Alan Turing inspired ‘Turing Tumble’, an activity that enables visitors to explore how computers work. And don’t miss the opportunity to explore the Future of Food and Agriculture with Farmers Weekly and find out how the avalanche of new technology and science developments are transforming the way we grow crops and raise livestock. 

Accessible to all – the main stages will be streamed live so science fans across the globe can tune in - New Scientist Live is aimed at anyone who is curious about our brains, our bodies, our planet, and our universe. Whether they are science enthusiasts, students, families looking to introduce their children to the world of STEM or simply a curious individual eager to learn, there is something for everyone.
