Summer Roadshow 2026

Summer Roadshow 2026

We are CHaOS (Cambridge Hands-On Science)! We are the student-run science outreach society at the University of Cambridge. For over 20 years, we have travelled across the country on our summer roadshow, to spread our enthusiasm for STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine, and Mathematics). We would love to see you there, so this page should help you decide when to meet us! Below is a list of our currently-confirmed public events (note that we also visit schools on weekdays during term-time). We are booking more venues, and this page will be updated once they are confirmed.

These events are for the public, and we are very family friendly, with the events open to all ages. You do not need to sign-up for the events, but we recommend that you visit our Facebook page and let us know if you are coming along.
