Seems pretty interesting, shame it's for 16s and under...
It looks like they've got quite a lot going on for National Science Week which is pretty good in my view. I don't recall them doing anything like this before. Seems like they're encouraging school trips at that time as well, but from a more educational point of view. If I was still at school I'd love to be part of something like this, so anyone who's young enough to enter I say go for it!
