Generation Science programme 2009

Welcome to the Edinburgh International Science Festival’s schools touring programme.

Our tour of 2009 has now completed its run where we saw 55,000 pupils in 569 primary schools all across Scotland.

We travelled to some of the most remote parts of Scotland to see as many school children as we could including the Uists, Shetlands, Dumfries and Galloway as well as Caithness and Scoraig.

We are finalising 2010's programme currently but if you have any planned science events or health weeks that you would like us to visit during please get in touch now.
