At Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, E20 2ST.

Young people will have a chance to watch Shell’s world famous Eco-marathon and take part in exciting hands-on activities and interactive science shows.

Many of the activities and interactive experiences at Make the Future Live are designed to inspire young people about science, technology, engineering and maths. Visitors will learn about the role of science and engineering in the world now and into the future.

The full festival experience will take about two and half hours, but we recommend you block out half a day in your timetable to ensure you have plenty of time to get to the venue and organised into groups. You can state preferred arrival times during the registration process, but please note that timed tickets are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The festival is self-guided, but we will provide teachers with an event guide, map and suggested route closer to the event, so you can plan your experience.
