Significant logistical challenges with transport has resulted in the postponement in STEMFest 2024.
The Department for Enterprise says that it is a “regrettable” decision to postpone this years event, but it is “due to significant logistical challenges, including existing requirements around scheduled school bus services”.
Excluding Bus Vannin, the department, which organises the event, says it has “limited resource through private transport providers”.
Postponement of STEMFest
In a statement to Manx.News it says: “The STEMFest event provides primary school children with an exciting and interactive event aimed at nurturing their curiosity around science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
“With this in mind, it was felt appropriate to postpone the event rather than proceed and exclude some schools.
“We are committed to rescheduling the event to a time that allows for full attendance and participation.”
A new date has not yet been given.
