The festival marks the finale of the Southampton Science and Engineering Festival.
The University says on its website:
"The event explores the whole spectrum of science and engineering through over 100 hands on activities, shows, talks and tours which are mainly run by University of Southampton research staff. The event previously has been awarded Best Engineering Event in 2009 and Best STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) Institution Event in 2014.
"Whilst the exact programme of activities and talks are still in the process of being confirmed, you can rest assured that we will have our usual mix of inspiring, educational events which will be suitable for all ages. At last year's event, seven of eight of the faculties at the University had activities at Science and Engineering day. This included new activities such as Minecraft Engineering and the Archaeology Village alongside long-time favourites The Mars Bridge Building Challenge and Erica the Rhino. Some of these activities will be coming back for the 2017 event along with a lot, lot more."
