    The STFC will be sending out electronic Christmas cards this year and that card could be carrying your picture. STFC would like designs from UK students from the age groups of 11-14 years (Key Stage 3) and 14-16 years (Key Stage 4). There are prizes for winners and runners-up in both categories: the winners will receive an iPod Shuffle but they will also get an all expenses paid trip to STFC’s telescopes on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands for themselves, a friend and an accompanying adult. Runners-up will win an iPod Shuffle, £50 of book vouchers for their school and an expenses paid trip for themselves, a friend and an accompanying adult, to one of STFC’s UK research laboratories.

    The design for the Christmas card must be of a Christmas or winter design with a scientific flavour, ideally reflecting STFC science and technology. The designs can be hand drawn or designed and submitted electronically.

    For primary and secondary education. The scheme offers up to £3000 to support teachers, scientists and engineers in working together to inspire young people.  Fantastic projects can be created by partnerships like these, allowing teachers to increase their scientific knowledge and giving scientists and engineers the chance to develop their communication skills and engage with enquiring young minds.  Perhaps most importantly, these projects give school students a taste of science and engineering today, and their relevance for society.
