The £500 will allow me to organise the largest live science Q&A session you have ever seen. You and everybody else will be invited to ask about science live!

I will use the £500 to help encourage people to get involved in scientific research. Increased research means increased knowledge, which will benefit young people now when it is applied to medicine and every day life in the future

I am planning to donate the money to codeClub. A website that teaches kids to code. As you can see here: https://www.codeclub.org.uk/about
they organize sessions to teach kids to code so it can be quite useful for young people -

I would like to use it within my Education and Public Engagement Team to develop some ome funky video’s about the science and projects we do, ideally inspired by he questions and discussion that came out from this forum (and a doodle book too ;-))

I travel around schools as a STEM Ambassador and would use the money to buy some Raspberry Pi machines to teach school children how to code in Python and learn what all the different bits of a computer are and what they do. There are lots of very cool things you can do with a Pi , they’re very easy to transport around and cheap !

One of the great things about using coding as an entry point to learning about science is that you can get results quickly (and reliably), it’s cheap and it scales very easily from children as young as 6 to children as old as me 🙂
