Wasn't megalab Daily Telegraph and the British Association for the

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Mass Experiments
Hello -
In Australia we run a mass experiment to launch National Science Week.
Past experiments have included:
National Sleep Diary
The Great Marsupial Nightstalk
The Kilowatt Count - energy use audit
Wager on the Weather - a weather prediction competition
We are researching ideas for August 2004 and I am looking for some UK
inspiration.
Can anyone tell me where I would find a record of past Megalab
experiments?
Does megalab still exist?
With thanks
Willow
