      Good question (and you have reminded me to be a bit more detailed about it in my profile!). I have had the app idea for a few years now but never really had the chance to see if it could work. My hope is that the app WILL be educational. The good thing about apps are that you are only limited by your own imagination, so in this case, let’s say you’re seen/read about/are planning to take part in a sports event and you’d like to understand some of the science that determines performance in that event. Well, click on my app and it could tell you, and the answer could be set at any level from primary school up to degree-level and beyond. My vision for this is to use a form of technology never used before for scientific engagement.
