Peterborough STEM Festival 2025

Back by popular demand, The Schools’ Aerospace Careers Programme (ACP) returned to the Peterborough STEM Festival 2025 at Anglia Ruskin University and it proved to be a fantastic day from start to finish.

Between 11:00 and 16:00 on Saturday 18 October, over 1,000 visitors attended the ACP hall, meeting the ACP team and taking part in a range of hands-on aerospace experiences. Many were especially excited to come face-to-face with Spot, the world-famous quadruped robot from Boston Dynamics, which drew a constant crowd throughout the day.

The festival was completely free and open to all ages, creating a welcoming atmosphere for families, students, and anyone eager to explore the technology and innovation shaping tomorrow’s aerospace industry.

Overall, it was a hugely successful event, filled with curiosity, engagement, and inspiration for the next generation of aerospace professionals.
