STEM field trips & workshops
The Darwin Centre for Biology and Medicine was founded by Biochemist, Professor Tony Campbell CBE and Dr Stephanie Matthews in 1993, registering as a charity in 1994. In 1999 the charity relocated to Pembrokeshire where it remains to this day. The Darwin Centre aims to engage and enthuse young people and communities in STEM subjects through hands on field trips and workshops, from rock pooling to theoretical nuclear physics. The charity raises aspirations through opening up access to experts within the STEM industry and highlights potential careers available to the young people of Pembrokeshire.
About Our Events
At the Darwin Centre, we bring science to life through hands-on field trips, interactive workshops and unforgettable STEM experiences, engaging thousands of young people and community members across Pembrokeshire every year.
Our flagship programme, the Dragon Darwin Experience, was established in 2005 and has now reached over 80,000 participants. Thanks to the continued support of our core sponsor and partner, Dragon LNG, every school in Pembrokeshire can access free STEM workshops and field trips, helping to ensure that cost is not a barrier to inspiring the next generation.
We are also grateful for the ongoing support of Pembrokeshire College, which provides our base, and Pembrokeshire County Council, alongside the many organisations and specialists who collaborate with us.
Our activities extend beyond the classroom! Throughout the year, including school holidays, we offer opportunities for families, home educators, community groups and Scouts and Guides to get involved. From marine biology adventures and rock pooling to geology walks, pond dipping and public science talks, there’s always something new to discover.
