Still debating with myself on that one! Too many ideas. Definitely something to do with increasing space and engineering into the primary education through hands on experiences.

I had two ideas, water rockets or a dust trap, and am asking for votes on which I should go for. Both are described on my profile page, so far the water rockets is winning!
NPL produces a kit which allows you to shoot water bottles high into the air, learning about forces and aerodynamics and having a lot of fun while you do it! £500 would buy me 7 packs that I would like to send off to schools in poorer countries.
Check out my profile page for some pretty cool pics of water rockets in action.

I plan on making rockets with pupils at schools to teach rocket science…. and to launch your own rockets in the playground… like these ones

I want to show engineering is more than just cars. As a medical engineer, it always upsets me when mentioning engineering that’s the only one people name or assumes you study. I want to spend the money going to schools to do fun activities which promote engineering but specifically medical engineering. looking at bones and prosthetics-maybe designing a newer prosthetic the options are endless.

We’re building a Space Station simulator room at Goonhilly where students can come and run experiments. We also want to make a video link so it can be accessed remotely. I would use the money in a competition for schools to build an experiment that will be added into our simulator.
