I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of £500 to communicate their work.

Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.

This zone is the Germanium Zone. Germanium is a hard grayish-white metalloid quite similar to tin and silicon.

This zone has a range of scientists studying all different topics. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
