Amy Harington – Science Blast @ RDS
3rd July 2026
A new evaluation of ESB Science Blast has found that every child surveyed enjoyed taking
part in the programme, with the research also highlighting high levels of inclusion,
confidence and participation among primary school students from a wide range of
backgrounds and abilities.
More than 110,000 children have taken part in the initiative since it began in 2019, and the
latest findings are now being used to help make STEM education even more accessible.
Joining us to discuss the report and what it means for the future of science education is Amy
Harrington, Science and Technology Programme Manager at the RDS.
