Dear all,
I want to share with you the Weizmann UK Safe Cracking Physics Tournament, where teams of Year 12 students from across the UK have the opportunity to compete in a safe making and breaking competition.
Teams design and build safes which have locking mechanisms based on the principles of physics. They then put their safes to the test in a tournament of 'safe cracking'. They get to be creative, challenge their knowledge, see physics in action and have loads of fun!
I am still in awe of the brilliant ideas the teams had at the last tournament and can't wait to see the next lot of safes. You can see more by watching the following videos, which include safes which can only be opened by using potatoes, making a cup of tea or 'playing' table football! The videos are here: http://bit.ly/1scnPEP
Teams who win the UK tournament will receive a travel grant to cover flights and accommodation to enable them to represent the UK at the International Tournament at the Weizmann Institute of Science where they compete against teams from across the world.
Please can you forward this information to school students and teachers who you think may be interested in participating? Registration for the competition closes at the end of September 2014, and the UK tournament will be held on Sunday 8 February 2015.
Let me know if you have any questions about the competition.
Thank you,
Lydia Wood
