Kickstart their curiosity at the Primary Science Fair
Part of the annual Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, this non-competitive showcase is designed to spark a lifelong love for science, technology, and maths in primary school students. It will take place on 8–9 January 2026 at the RDS, alongside the main exhibition.
A stepping stone to Stripe YSTE
For over 25 years, the Primary Science Fair has provided third to sixth class students with their first taste of a national science exhibition. It's an essential opportunity to build confidence, and inspires many students to become future participants in Stripe YSTE.
