The Big Bang Fair logo

The Big Bang Fair is an award-winning UK event for young people that celebrates science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). Targeted at young people aged 7-19, The Big Bang Fair combines exciting theatre, interactive workshops, exhibits and careers information from STEM professionals. Starting in 2009 and attracting 6,500 visitors, The Big Bang Fair has grown to attract an audience of nearly 70,000 in 2015!

The Big Bang Fair wouldn't be possible without the large team of volunteers they recruit each year to help run the event. The Big Bang Fair volunteers help out across the event by demonstrating and explaining the experiments, and inspiring the young audience to get involved. The Big Bang Fair volunteers gain a huge amount of the experience too, learning new skills in communication, problem solving and teamwork, plus being offered the opportunity to gain events experience and network with local and national employers.

PAAM is now helping The Big Bang Fair by providing:

  • A cloud based volunteer recruitment and management system.
  • Integration with The Big Bang Fair Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software.
  • Automated application form logic allowing the application form to show and hide certain areas depending on previous answers.
  • Grouping of event volunteer roles.
  • Fast one-click event volunteer database searches.
  • Easy uploading of event information for volunteers.
  • Customisable email templates.
  • Consolidated email messaging.
  • Simplified event volunteer processing.

Plus much much more!
