The YouTube Space Lab http://www.youtube.com/spacelab?feature=etp-gs-space is an open competition inviting young people aged 14-18 to come up with an idea for a science experiment in space. Participants don’t actually have to do the experiment, they make a short video to describe and explain the idea, and then upload their video entry to the YouTube online service. Here their work will be evaluated by the judges and viewed by an international audience of millions.
Participants can work as individuals or in small teams to generate their idea and produce their video. The winning ideas will be conducted for real on the International Space Station (ISS), and broadcast live on YouTube for everyone to see. The overall winner will also get the chance to either watch the rocket take-off from Japan, or take a special astronaut training course in Russia when they reach the age of 18.
Given the wealth of talent in Scottish schools, it would be great to see a Scottish student achieve at this high level of international competition.
Full details on the Space Lab webpages. http://www.youtube.com/spacelab?feature=etp-gs-space The competition is accepting entries until 7th December 2011.
