We did it!

Or rather everyone that liked, shared, spread the word and stepped up as a business to support this year's Peterbororough STEM Festival did it!

So grateful to everyone, as it's genuinely a highlight of the year to see thousands of happy kids being inspired and amazed by STEM...

Amazing news as we can confirm Peteborough STEM Festival 2025 will be going ahead on Saturday October 18th at ARU Peterborough from 11am-4pm (quiet time from 9:30am-11am).

Huge thanks to everyone that shared our request for help and to the businesses that stepped up. More details on them to follow!

For almost a decade, Peterborough STEM Festival has been providing a free day of inspiration and education for children and families throughout the area. But due to a funding shortfall, the 2025 event is at risk.
We need to find an additional commitment of £2,000 by Friday, September 2026... 1/2
Had a great time at the @DPiPboro games-themed meetup last night. It was weird to share my sim racing hobby rather than a marketing talk, but hopefully how it blends real and virtual was interesting for those not interested in motorsport

TONIGHT: There will be two talks taking place tonight alongside some retro gaming activities.

@badgergravling Dan Thornton will be talking all things sim racing, and Umar Ijaz, Community Architect from Agapo Games, will be sharing how their team took a community-led approach to launch their first game (demo included!)

See you there! https://www.meetup.com/digital-people-in-peterborough/events/310232972/

Working on a game? Why not try it with some real-life beta testers!

See you there! 👾

Tired and happy after making slime seemed pretty popular at the Anglia Ruskin Family Day, promoting @PboroSTEMFest and going through 100s of pots and bags with Andy, @LizR and Stanley...
