Question: What kind of things would you do in the festival to help the children?

Last year I helped organise a week-long science festival in my town with a group of other volunteers. The festival had a lot of events for kids aged 4-11. It was loads of fun! Here are some of the events we planned: Science Magic (a magician who did magic tricks based on science and then told the kids how he did the tricks), Fireworks – Real Science or Just Bangs (a show about the science behind how fireworks explode, with lots of bangs) and Zoolab (mini-beasts were brought into class and kids were shown the differences in behaviour and habitat and told how to look after them).

If I won the £500 prize money I would use it to run the week long science festival again but have even more events on that would be free for school kids to go to. I would also like to have more events for people over age 11.
