What an incredible three days at Big Bang Fair 2026!
We were proud to join more than 22,000 young people and 2,500 teachers from 400 schools at one of the UK's largest celebrations of STEM, and which is organised by Engineering UK.
Throughout the event, our team had the pleasure of meeting enthusiastic students, dedicated educators and fellow exhibitors, sharing how Get with the Program uses fun, inclusive coding adventures to inspire the tech innovators of tomorrow.
Visitors to our stand took part in hands-on Moon Landing and Net Zero coding activities using our VEX 123 Robots, giving them the chance to experience coding in an engaging and accessible way, whilst also talking to us about careers in STEM.
We were delighted by the number of schools interested in bringing our coding adventures into their classrooms and considering our careers support and potential virtual work experience, with sign-ups already planned for this term and the 2026/27 academic year.
A huge thank you to the entire Get with the Program team for their hard work before, during and after the event. Special thanks also go to our wonderful volunteers: Rikki-Louise Davis (UK Civil Aviation Authority), Madiha Ussen, Nic Lan and Beth Hindmarch (Virgin Media interns), Sigourney Ansah (Department for Transport Volunteering Ambassador), and Sophie-Lynne Jory (Deliveroo).
We are also grateful to our sponsors and funders, the UK Civil Aviation Authority, the Department for Transport, and Bupa, whose support helps us reach and inspire more young people through STEM education.
Thank you to everyone who visited us – we can't wait to be back next year!
