Awesome Rolls-Royce gadget

June 19th, 2008

I had the pleasure to attend the Rolls-Royce Science Prize Awards Dinner last night – Tim Smit of Eden Project fame was a speaker, as was Lord Rees of Ludlow (President of the Royal Society), and both were incredibly engaging and interesting.  Aside from the free champagne and good food, I also bagged this sweet Rolls-Royce loot:

You might think the awards were a bit of a PR effort by the Rolls-Royce corp, but there seems to be a genuine motivation to improve science engagement in schools through the scheme, and I’m pleased it exists.  Well done to winners St Anne’s Primary, a tiny school that’s making a big impact in the local community with its project on the water cycle.
