‘I’m a Scientist/I’m an Engineer, Get me out of here’ is a free online event where school students get to meet and interact with scientists/engineers. It’s a free X Factor-style competition between scientists/engineers, where the students are the judges. Students challenge the scientists/engineers over intense, fast-paced, online live CHATs. Then they ASK the scientists/engineers all the questions they want to, and VOTE for their favourite scientist/engineer to win a prize of £500 to communicate their work with the public.
