Top Gear and Richard Hammond's TV programs on engineering - especially the one on the Sydney Opera House - at one point she said "Wow - that woman's an engineer who knows all about glass in buildings - how cool is that?"..... It may be genetic - her grandfathers were both engineers.Irenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975702886795027550.post-47138154514952944332010-07-29T19:53:43.213+01:002010-07-29T19:53:43.213+01:00@Theo

Students could and did ask questions on almost any topic. As you suggest, if you wanted to get a clear impression of what interests them in general, you could do worse than categorise and count the number of questions on different topics. Anecdotally, my impression was that "space" was very well represented, "dinosaurs" somewhat less so, but both were fairly popular. What was most surprising was the level of interest in Physics. Students also asked lots of difficult, but reasonable questions about cosmology. They seemed genuinely fascinated by the really tough questions, well beyond the school syllabus. I wonder whether school science misses a trick by focusing too heavily on topics where the answers are known, at the expense of topics which inspire wonder and inquiry. Looking at the scientists profiles, finding answers to unsolved problems is what motivates us all.Tom Hartleyhttp://tomhartley.posterous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975702886795027550.post-14596490350410195392010-07-20T18:28:21.964+01:002010-07-20T18:28:21.964+01:00Great post, and a good demonstration of Mark Hende...Great post, and a good demonstration of Mark Henderson's point at the #TalkFest about blogs providing the "DVD extras" to news articles that will have been subject to editing. I had a feeling there were things missing, or touched upon too briefly, in the Guardian article. While this is understandable (they are certainly more "technical" points), they've been covered here. Thank you for posting them.<br /><br />For example, I don't think I'd fully appreciated the point about "I'm a Scientist" and "SciCast" involving young people as "active participants". The talks I give in schools generally feature me talking "at" kids, and questions will largely revolve around the science I've been talking about - and to be fair, that's part of my remit as a funded STFC PhD student. I think @imascientist phrased it nicely when she mentioned the "empowerment" aspect of the voting system in #IAS2010. More research in this area would indeed be welcome.<br /><br />Waving my flag for science teachers again, it might also be worth mentioning that projects like "I'm a Scientist" and SciCast generally take place in schools (so you're not relying on parents to bring their children anywhere), and generally rely on good, enthusiastic science teachers to work. I say "generally" because the 2010 winner was done by a 17 year-old working on his own:<br /><br />http://www.planet-scicast.com/view_clip.cfm?cit_id=2926<br /><br />That said, we can probably ignore this isolated example. After all, the film was about space, wasn't it? ;-)<br /><br />Cheers, TomTom Whyntiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03112509821712233516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975702886795027550.post-30157850072729888042010-07-20T14:39:48.477+01:002010-07-20T14:39:48.477+01:00'Generational drag' - love it.
