This form is to submit ideas for stalls you would like to volunteer and set up for the upcoming ELM Science Fair, Inshā'Allāh. This event is planned to take place at East London Mosque on Saturday 29th August, Inshā'Allāh, running from 8:30am to 6pm.

Our aim with this fair is to revive a holistic Islamic worldview, where seeking knowledge of the world around us is not just academic but spiritual. Through interactive, educational and family-friendly stalls, we will explore themes like Islamic history in science, sustainability and stewardship, medicine, engineering, astronomy and more. Whether you're a student, educator, scientist, or simply passionate about the Deen and discovery, your contribution can help inspire awe of Allah's creation in every visitor.

We're looking for engaging, hands-on stall ideas that reflect the spirit of learning, creativity and reflection rooted in our tradition. Each stall should be designed to be accessible and enjoyable for the whole family, including young children. More complex or advanced topics are still very welcome, as long as part of the stall is tailored to younger audiences with simple, interactive explanations or activities they can engage with and understand.

This is your opportunity to contribute to something meaningful and impactful. Whether you're part of a university ISOC, youth group, school, research team, or simply an individual who wants to get involved, we would love to hear your ideas.
