      Hi Joe M W PrendergastVale
      If you mean the prize money from this competition, I would look to partner with the Royal Society of Chemistry or a similar organisation to spread my message. As a single person you can never be as strong as having an organisation behind you. As a Fellow of the RSC I think they have similar thoughts as I do about getting young people to study science by giving them more information about where it can take them.

      Hi Joe,

      There’s always more you can do, but unfortunately it’s usually limited by funding, so the money would be really useful in giving projects the biggest effect possible! We make some careers resources already and these are very popular in schools, but we could always do more to spread the message – like creating new materials, or have a really interesting and informative stand at a careers fair, or making videos to help spread the message. The prize money would certainly help with that!
