Baylab Lab Coat Competition 2025
Get ready for an exciting opportunity! This year, British Science Week will take place from March 7th to March 16th, 2025, and we’re thrilled to invite schools and educational groups to participate in our annual Lab Coat Competition.
Theme: “Robotics”
This year, we’re focusing on the theme of “Robotics.” We encourage students to explore how robots and robotics can enhance processes and solve real-world problems. From addressing climate change and healthcare challenges to ensuring food security, we want to see your students’ creativity shine as they design their own robotic solutions. What will the robots of the future look like?
Who can participate?
The competition is open to any educational group or school in the UK and features three categories:
Infants: Years 1 and 2
Juniors: Years 3-6
Seniors: Years 7-9
Are lessons provided?
Absolutely! We provide a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation and lesson plan tailored for each age category. These resources can be delivered over one or two lessons, depending on how deeply you wish to explore the topic.
What do my students have to do?
To participate, simply print off our Lab Coat template at school or home. Students should design the front and back of the lab coat around the theme “Robotics.”
How do I get involved?
