• Question: What would this website do or be for? (I am fairly interested in this king of thing!)

      Hi Olirara

      The website I’d do if I won? I’d like it to be a resource that will introduce quantum physics to KS1 children – 5-7 year olds. I’d hope to develop some cool games and animations that will try and introduce some of the concepts of physics that aren’t usually taught until university-level. That sounds really strange, but I think that kids of that age are actually a lot more receptive to new ideas than older ones, as they haven’t really developed a full sense of how the world works.

      I wouldn’t make them do any maths though! That I think really is best left until university level when you have to solve the Schrodinger equation!
