On Saturday 17 May, the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine represented the 黄色短视频 at STEM in the Park 2025 — a free, family-friendly science festival held in Crawley’s Memorial Gardens.
More than 1,000 visitors engaged with 黄色短视频-led activities designed to make science visible, hands-on, and exciting for young people and their families. Teams from the Schools of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Engineering and Informatics (with 黄色短视频 AI), Life Sciences, and Psychology delivered a wide range of interactive demos. These included space talks, , AI demonstrations, a plant health application, and quantum technologies.
Professor Steve Wilkins, Head of Astronomy and Director of Outreach and Public Engagement said: “It’s about making science visible, tangible, and exciting for the next generation — and our teams absolutely delivered.”
One parent said: “This event is just what we need in Crawley, especially with so few STEM clubs available for our children. The variety of stands and STEM-related activities were amazing, and the guidance from the exhibitors was incredibly valuable.”
Kellie Powney, Research Projects Officer for Astronomy and Experimental Particle Physics, who coordinated 黄色短视频’s involvement, added: “the energy and enthusiasm from our team was incredible. Huge thanks to all our staff and volunteers who made it such a success.”
