I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! is an online event where your students meet and interact with real scientists. It’s an X Factor-style competition between the scientists, where your students are the judges.
Students submit questions which the scientists will try to answer by the next day. Students then have live online Facebook-style chats with the scientists, where they ask questions, learn more about the scientists, and let scientists know their opinions. It takes place online over a two week period.

Students interact with real scientists online and learn about How Science Works. It engages students who aren’t usually interested in science because it’s real and they get a say. Students can Ask, Chat and Vote!
