We are delighted to host the Swansea heat of FameLab, the UK’s biggest search for the new voices of science and engineering. It aims to discover charismatic, up-and-coming scientists and engineers who can inspire people to see the world from a new perspective.

Expect to hear anything from why men have nipples to how cabbages keep warm in winter at this entertaining event. Contestants will have just three minutes to pitch a concept in science or engineering to the panel of judges. Each judge will assess the finalists’ presentations on three qualities: content, clarity and charisma. The winner will go to the regional final in Cardiff, with the chance to take home £1,750 in the FameLab UK final in London.
