Be Curious: Let's discover together

Thank you for making Be Curious 2025 a day to remember!

Children and families from across Leeds joined us for a day of fun, creativity and discovery, exploring exciting research happening at Leeds.

Thank you to all of our researchers, staff, students and community partners who helped make the day so special. And thank you to everyone who joined in - we couldn't do it without you!
