I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! has been running successfully in the UK since 2008 and more recently also in Ireland and Australia. There could be possibilities to bring this project to other locations. Here’s the contact information for any Ecsite members who may be interested in pursuing a collaboration with this project: http://imascientist.org.uk/help

This is the main idea behind the project:

I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! is an online event where school students get to meet and interact with scientists. Students challenge the scientists over intense, fast-paced, online live chats. They challenge the scientists by asking questions that adults don’t think of or shy away from asking, and vote for their favorite scientist to win a prize of £500 to communicate their work with the public. http://imascientist.org.uk/
