We thought, to make things a touch easier, or harder depending on how much you like to be prepared and know what youโre up against, weโd upload a couple of recordings of the live chats.
It might help to give you an idea of what will be involved when you take part in them. We picked these at random, based on age groups โ not ability, so theyโre reasonably varied.
Of course, if you prefer the element of surprise, donโt watch them. As all scientists whoโve taken part will tell you, it doesnโt matter what youโre told or how much preparation youโre given. Nothing will prepare you for the actual thing.
These chats below use the older format but still give you an idea of how the interaction works.
