I guess to say the same thing really "Do IAS it's amazing!" - took part in the
Flourine zone in March and had a fantastic time (and ok did end up winning too)
but was a really fun way to engage with the students and help them learn about
science and learn a lot from them in the process too!
It does also improve your typing no end! and winning can help you do further PE
activities.
If you want to ask any questions about taking part etc then get in touch
