      Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Maths and science can be very difficult and it’s okay if you don’t understand it straightaway. The trick is to learn and re-learn things from different points of view. There’s so much out there to learn and there’s even more out there that we don’t know! Start asking questions about the world around you. You will learn something new or you can discover something that we don’t know anything about – and think of how YOU could solve it! Let your mind get carried away with curiosity!

      Masha’s answer is spot on – never be afraid to ask a question, I have found that ‘why’ is often a better question to ask than ‘how’ or ‘what’.

      Have to agree with Masha, great answer! I often ask questions that seem silly at the time in meetings, but secretly no-body else knows the answer either so no question is a stupid question 🙂
