The Genes Zone was one of the most active zones of I’m a Scientist November 2013. Teachers booked a lot of chats that got students highly engage and the ASK section got filled up with a wide range of questions – from very personal to very focused ones asking about genetic diseases, like certain types of cancer- reflecting the variety of students participating in this zone.
I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here is an online activity where school students get to meet and interact with scientists.
It’s a competition between scientists, where the students are the judges.
Students challenge the scientists over intense, fast-paced, online live Chats. Then they Ask the scientists all the questions they want to, and Vote for their favourite scientist to win a prize of £500 to communicate their work with the public.
