      You’re absolutely right! I plan to make some models of particle accelerators and their controls/

      Hi, I’m donating the prize to the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester where they run some really fun science workshops for kids.

      I’m giving the money to our Outreach team – they do things like fund visits by scientists/engineers to schools and buy cool equipment and take it to schools to inspire kids into engineering. They also organise visits to site and tours of our scientific facilities, so exactly the kind of thing you’re talking about 🙂

      I will use the money to buy a number of Raspberry Pis for some schools in underpreviliged areas in Jordan. The Respberry Pi is a small and cheap computer that helps young students learn about hardware and software to introduce them the wonderful world of engineering.
