      Hopefully I can answer all of your questions and you like my idea for spending the money!

      I would love to spend the money on electronic LEGO to show people that they can be engineers too! This would also be great because anyone could have a world-changing idea, and this would be a brilliant way for people to be creative and maybe think of something new.

      Because I could use the prize money to buy a 3D printer for a school, & give lots of students the chance to learn to 3D print for themselves

      The school could set up a 3D printing club, & use the printer to help students learn engineering skills, but also about lots of other things: they could print molecules they’ve learned about in chemistry, different kinds of cells in biology, and atoms in physics.. & they could use it in art to make cool sculptures

      There’s loads & loads of stuff they could do with a 3D printer 🙂

      I’d love to give my local school some STEM kits. I really like K’nEx (http://www.knex.co.uk/knex-education/) but haven’t quite got my mind made up as to what the prize would exactly buy.

      If I win I would use the money in organising public healthcare awareness activities. It is more about preventing a disease or nipping it in bud. It would aid people in understanding the risk factors of a disease, avoid smoking or drug intake, undergo routine clinical checkups and screening. The incidence of many diseases have silently increased about 5-6% over past 5 years. It could be possible to totally eradicate some diseases just by adopting simple alterations in lifestyle and dietary intake and sanitary habits. We definitely do not want leave behind a unhygienic and unhealthy world for future generations.
