That's a wrap folks! It feels like we're just getting started, but the festival is over for another year. Never fear though, plans are already afoot for 2026. Thank you again to all our speakers, sponsors, volunteers and attendees. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

Well done again to all the speakers at FameLab Academy last night. It's a shame we could only crown one winner when you all did such an excellent job - everyone can be very proud of what they achieved!

This evening we'll be crowning the FameLab Academy regional winner for 2025. No tickets required for this free event, so please come along to cheer these science communicators of the future! Doors open at 7pm and presentations begin at 7:30.

All of our iBricks sessions with House of Fun at Abingdon Guildhall tomorrow are full, but we can't wait to see what you'll be building! Be sure to send photos of all your incredible creations 🧱
