Find out about British Science Week and how you can get involved!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Science is in the air as British Science Week 2017 gets underway! From the 10th \u2013 19th March, a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths begins with schools, science enthusiasts and professionals getting involved in a range of events across the UK! \u00a0Here is everything you need to know…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The theme of this year\u2019s Science Week is \u201cChange\u201d and BSW are encouraging young people to consider the ever changing world we live in; from seasons and climate to materials and energy. In keeping with the theme, BSW have partnered with Zooniversal on the visual project, Penguin Watch. We commend this! The scheme requires me, you, our friends, family and dog (OK maybe not the dog) to get involved by annotating our own images from the past three years of penguins in their habitats. The aim is to collect quantitative data from photographs which will go towards furthering our understanding of the species and contributing towards their conservation! So, if you have been on a winter safari, to the South Pole or anywhere else with penguins, grab your photo album and start annotating! Let\u2019s help Zooniversal and our fellow science professionals with such a great cause this Science Week.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t have any images of penguins; how else can I get involved?\u201d Good question! There are lots of ways for you to get involved with Science Week. Just pop on your lab goggles and take look:<\/p>\n
