Details of next month’s Fife Science Festival have been launched. For the first time in its history, Fife Science Festival has been extended to Dunfermline, with events also heading to St Andrews, Buckhaven, Burntisland, Glenrothes, Tayport and Kirkcaldy.

Funded by the Scottish Government, the Edina Trust and Podium (the Further and Higher Education Unit for the 2012 Games), the festival will involve a diverse range of free events for schools and the general public.

A week-long science week will also held at Denbeath Primary School in Buckhaven with engineering insights at Adam Smith College in Glenrothes and wireless wonders at Museum of Communication at Burntisland. Secondary school pupils will also get the chance to make a prize-winning robot, while a lecture will explore what life would be like without evolution.
