Siemens and Museum of Science and Industry ink three-year STEM deal

As part of the three-year deal Siemens will launch a pop-up platform at the museum where the MSI will be organising science and technology demonstrations aimed at families with children aged between seven and 14.

The ‘Platform for Investigation’ events will take place at the museum on 20 days each year, including for nine days during the Manchester Science Festival, which typically falls in October. 

Essential to the partnership is our collective desire to bring science to life; inclusive for all

The partnership, which is now entering its tenth year, is designed to encourage young people to consider a career in STEM.
