Digital Zone evaluation report – March 2013

DigireportIn March 2013 we ran a Digital Zone, funded by the RCUK Digital Economy Theme. It was successful:

  1. It was very busy throughout the fortnight and above average in most measures of activity such as number of students and questions asked.
  2. Students asked questions on games, robots and phone apps, relating to the digital theme, along with more general science questions on space and the origins of science.
  3. The scientists all engaged well and were keen to answer questions and take part in the live chats.
  4. Phil Wilkinson won the zone and plans to spend his money on an internet video series to explain science.

As zone winner Phil said, “I cannot fully articulate how much I enjoyed this experience!”

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.
