>Hi All,
>
>I'm hoping some of you may have some means of contacting
>schools or teachers that I could make use of - as I am
>launching a competition for A-level science students.
>
>Its a slightly strange one (though exciting!), but I'm running
>a competition to take 2 A-level science students with a group
>of researchers to participate in a project with a NASA group
>based at the California Ames Research Center - and Nevada
>desert for rocket launch. The UK team was part of NESTA's
>Crucible programme and is an interdisciplinary and dynamic
>group of young researchers who have got together to create
>this project to detect microbes in the upper atmosphere in
>collaboration with an astrobiology group at NASA. The prize is
>to come with and help with the experiment - the competition
>involves answering a science question and telling us why they
>want to come.
>
>Information on the competition can be found at
>http://www.nesta.org.uk/areas_of_work/public_services_lab/educa
>tion/nasa
>
>Our main problem is that due to the amount of time it takes to
>get security clearance we have a very tight deadline for the
>competition so it's crucial that we get info to schools,
>teachers and a-level students asap. The deadline for entries
>is 24th May 2010
>
>I'm hoping that lots of psi-comers will have relationships
>with schools and can pass the above link onto any of their contacts.
>
>Thanks loads if anyone can help - and do email if you have any
>questions about the competition - or have any good ideas for
>how I can easily get to a lot of A-level science students or
>teachers. Am already trying to go through the various
>professional bodies as well as the National STEMnet
>ambassadors scheme and science learning centres.
