Ian Van Der Linde won the Nickel Zone in June 2011, and won £500 to spend on a science communication project. Let’s take a look at where the prize money has gone.
Ian decided to split his £500 across a number of different projects:
- Travel expenses to attend STEM outreach event as judge – the Big Bang fair, Imperial War Museum & Duxford.
- Funding towards a Nuffield Research Placement for a school-aged student to work with us in our research labs over the summer.
- Buying equipment for school “taster day” activities hosted at the University.
