TASTE for Science is a charity that gives students in rural Uganda the chance to do science experiments in lessons. It’s transforming science education in Uganda by letting students actually do science experiments, not just learn about them. A mobile science lab visits schools while also holding training camps for science teachers, demonstrating practicals to run in lessons. Jim, an I’m a Scientist winner explains a lot more about them in his post about why he donated his money to TASTE.

TASTE was only dreamed up in 2011 and the first mobile lab is venturing out around now, at the start of 2013. It’s a lovely innovative project that will really benefit students. Which is why it’s great that a number of I’m a Scientist winners have donated their winnings, or part of them, to TASTE. Here’s a list which we’ll update if more donations are made.

Jim Caryl  – he’s explained very eloquently why TASTE gets his prize money here

Dave Sproson donated £300 of his winnings

Steven Kiddle donated his winnings in December 2012

Evan Keane donated £300 of his winnings in February 2013

Deuan Jones donated all of his winnings in July 2013

As Jim says “TASTE absolutely fulfills the ethos of how I’d wish to spent the winnings from I’m a Scientist”
