      Well I’ve come on this competition because I thought it would be interesting to talk to school kids and explain my research to them! Its very different speaking to school kids and speaking to people in your field. Its also quite fun to do these kinds of things because it helps improve your communication!

      I’d also like to win the money to create some workshops for kids from underprivileged backgrounds.

      I thought that it would be interesting and fun, and boy was I right!

      I organise work experience at my work for kids from a local high school, and have helped them with careers fairs so had a vague idea of what might be asked, but you guys have blown me away 🙂

      I thought it would be fun, and an opportunity to tell people about what I do. I’ve done lots of other similar activities before, and they really help me get better at explaining ideas simply.
