Hundreds of schoolchildren will聽inspire each other and the next generation of scientists at the Greater Manchester Great Science Share.
The only science event of its kind in the UK, its programme is designed and developed by聽children for children to celebrate creativity, innovation and sharing.
It will bring together more than 70 schools from Greater Manchester and across the country.
Building on the major success of the European City of Science, the Great Science Share provides an exciting opportunity to connect every child with science again.
The University of Manchester is expecting children of all ages to get involved and attend.
But there will be a specific focus on 7-11 year olds, who will be presenting sports science ideas at the training campus of Greater Manchester Great Science Share collaborator Manchester City Football Club.
鈥楧o people with longer legs jump further?鈥� 鈥楧o people with larger feet run slower?鈥� 鈥楬ow can you slow fast things down?鈥� 鈥楢re left footed people better at scoring goals?鈥� And 鈥榃hat鈥檚 best? A right or left handed goalie?鈥� are just some of the questions the children will be exploring together on the day.
The event follows on from the 老九品茶 of Science Conference and the Great Science Teachmeet, which both took place at the Museum of Science and Industry.
Organiser Dr Lynne Bianchi from the University of Manchester said 37 schools participated in last year鈥檚 event at Manchester Town Hall, but this year promises to be even bigger and better, with more collaborators across Greater Manchester and nationally too.
She added: 鈥淭here鈥檚 no another event like it anywhere in the UK. What makes The Great Science Share so unique is it鈥檚 run by the children for other children 鈥� it鈥檚 their science stories being shared and primary science being valued and visible.
鈥淲e ask the adults to very much take a backseat, and we鈥檝e seen the children step up and love being scientists for the day.
鈥淚t鈥檚 just a fantastic event and so fitting that it stems out of Manchester, a city that鈥檚 built on science and engineering innovation and achievements.
鈥淭he Great Science Share gives every young person in our great City the chance to ask and answer questions, find out, explore, investigate and most of all have fun doing it together with other children and new audiences.鈥�
The event takes place on July 5 and also includes the 鈥楪reat Science Groove鈥�, a bespoke song created just for this year鈥檚 event by the University of Manchester, Halle Education, Dance Manchester and the Derby High School.
