      When i was younger my older sister lover dolphins, and because i thought she was really cool i loved dolphins too. But then i thought how can i work with dolphins and found out about marine biology.

      I want to win because I’m always asked to do talks and demonstrations to local schools but i dont have any cool experiments which are easy to move around. I could spend the money on getting a underwater camera we can go film in rock pools and in ponds and i can also buy some other equipment to run some experiments in the classroom such as how climate change is affecting our oceans, ocean acidification and coral bleaching. Then i want to have all this information available on a website so if we run out of time or you want to find out more you can check it all out online when you get home!

      Because its my first step on the ladder to world domination. Not really. I mainly wanted to take part because teenagers tend to ask different and quite clever questions. I want to win because I would love to do my digital making day. And my mum would be ever so proud.

      For me I naturally enjoyed science at school and better at it than some other subjects. I am not sure which of the two came first. So I followed the path with the subjects I enjoyed. If I won I would donate the money to research treatments for tropical diseases which are less well funded (in sub-suharan africa) and to helping educate people into why such research needs to be done.
