Native Scientist connects children and scientists across Europe using a new concept integrating science and language learning (STEM+LANG). Our educational and empowerment programme targets migrant children who are twice as likely to underachieve in science than non-migrants. In school workshops using a speed-dating format, the project brings together 20 children…

Our project focuses on inspiring people into science and technology through astronomy. We take our 12 inch computerised telescope and 8meter portable planetarium to schools and public places in an effort to inspire, engage and empower the next generation of African scientists. We invite kids for a lesson under the…

We have developed an open platform for remote control of scientific equipment with live video for desktop and mobile devices. Supporting material guides the students through the lab at various levels, up to graduate students. The platform currently focuses on plasma physics but can be easily adapted for other fields.…

Ready to take a deep dive into the Top 10 breakthroughs in the Physical Sciences category? This Winners Session will take you from the bottom of the ocean all the way to outer space to explore the most remote living environments. Learn about new ways to observe climate-related changes on…

I saw that people were being left behind by genomics, I left academia to used lessons from the innovation space to change this. To do this our team is building a doctor/patient focused genome browser.
