FameLab is a science communication competition which challenges competitors to explain a STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) concept given only 3 minutes. Those chosen to go through from the Aberdeen heats will go on to the Scottish regional final in Edinburgh. The winner of the regional final is awarded a place at FameLab’s sci comm masterclass and also goes through to the UK final.



We are looking for people passionate about STEM to come along and compete in the Aberdeen heats for a chance to go forward to the Scottish final*. You’ll have three minutes and only what you can carry with you to explain a STEM concept.



Those successful at the Scottish final will go through to the UK final and be given a special Masterclass training trip.



We will be providing free training to help you hone your science communication skills and perfect your 3 minutes.



The heats will be open to a public audience so you can bring your family and friends for support!
