Hi! I have visited a few schools to help teach children learn about science and it is something I really enjoy doing. I gained my love of science from what I learned in school and I would love to have the opportunity to inspire lots of other children to go into science.

I enjoy teaching children all about microbiology (the branch of science I do) and how it impacts our lives everyday. We get to do fun games and experiments and I particularly enjoy running these activities. I’d love to potentially use the prize money to create more activities and go to more schools to teach lots more children about how cool science can be.
