This is a weird moment. I can’t quite believe I’m actually doing it. I am now declaring registrations open for the first full scale I’m a Scientist event!

We are ready to hear from classes and scientists who want to take part in I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! 2010.

Teachers should register here.

Scientists should register here.

Getting us this far has taken a large proportion of my professional life for the last three years. Too large a part, Mr McCracken would say. It’s also taken loads of work from dozens of  other people – the lovely (and long-suffering)  teachers panel, all the previous participants, the people who’ve worked with us and the many people who’ve supported us.

I’m proud of what we’ve done. Thank you everyone. The event this year is going to be amazing. But I tell you what, if I’d known what hard work it was all going to be, I might have kept my mouth shut when I had that bright idea, all those years ago.

We are making a lot of improvements to the event this year, building on the things like live chats that we know really work. We think we’ll be making the site easier to use, more interactive, more personalised, but also more thought-provoking. Come and join in!
