British Science Association Cambridgeshire Branch
The British Science Association envisages a society in which people from all walks of life are able to access science, engage with it and feel a sense of ownership about its direction. The Cambridgeshire branch seeks to achieve that by connecting science with people: promoting openness about science in society and affirming science as a prime cultural force. The branch aims to do this by engaging and inspiring adults and young people directly with science and technology and their implications.
