Skills Development Scotland (SDS) is “headlining” the Boffinarium attraction at the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival this year.
Belladrum festival goers will be able to experience augmented and virtual reality first-hand, walk through a 30-foot replica of the human heart, get busy building with giant Meccano, design a wind turbine, use electronic microscopes to get up close and personal with nature, and take part in hi-tech scavenger hunts.
The dedicated space at the family-friendly event (which takes place from the 25-27 July 2024) will see SDS join forces with Aberdeen-based charity Techfest, the Glasgow Science Centre, the Science Skills Academy and UHI to deliver a range of interactive and fun STEM activities, designed to inspire young people and their families about science and tech jobs.
Professional careers experts from SDS will also be on-site during the three-day festival to chat to attendees about skills, training and education.
Anthony Standing, Head of North Region for SDS, said:
“We are thrilled to be involved in the Boffinarium again this year.
“Belladrum is a special event for us, and we love connecting with young people and their families in a new and unexpected way.
“The theme of this year’s festival is love and we want to get people thinking about what they love to do and inspire them into a career that will give them enjoyment for the rest of their lives.”
