BSHS OUTREACH AND EDUCATION COMMITTEE - HOTSPOTS COMPETITION
http://www.bshs.org.uk/outreach-and-education/competitions
Upcoming deadline: Wednesday, 13th July
To celebrate the launch of our new website, the BSHS Travel Guide, we are
inviting pupils from across the UK to tell us about a local place that they
think is important to the history of science.
Perhaps a famous scientist lived or worked in your local area, or an
important discovery was made just around the corner. Is there a site of
industrial importance or a famous institution right on your doorstep? If
so, tell us all about it! You can even send us up to 3 photographs you have
taken or pictures that you have drawn to bring your travel guide to life.
Entries will be judged in three categories and prizes will be awarded for
the winning entry in each age group: under-11, 11-14 and 15-18. The best
entries will also be published on the website so that visitors from around
the world can find out about the fascinating history of these scientific
hotspots.
Teachers can download a print-quality poster from the above website for
their classroom or school.
Please send your HotSpot travel guides to [log in to unmask]
Deadline for entries is 13th July 2011.
