Energy Zone Evaluation – Royal Society of Chemistry – June 2013

Energy funder reportIn June 2013 we ran the Energy Zone, funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). It was successful:

  1. The students got into the zone theme, with almost a quarter of questions asked directly relating to energy.
  2. There was lots of interest from RSC members in taking part – 34 RSC members applied.
  3. The scientists who took part mostly enjoyed the experience and benefited from it.
  4. The scientists were challenged within and beyond their areas of research, and all engaged well and were keen to answer questions and take part in the live chats.
  5. The RSC used a student account to post relevant links to their education sites.

As winner Rhod said to the students in a post on the site after the event: “None of this would be happening if you weren’t enthusiastic, curious, hungry to learn about science … and I’d just like to properly thank you for making this a truly brilliant and fun experience.”

What is I’m a Scientist?

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.
