Are you ready for I’m a Scientist?

The very first I’m a Scientist Kenya event kicks off next week with the Health Zone. Students will start logging in soon to ask their first questions, and the scientists are putting finishing touches to their profile pages.

From 22nd September to 3rd October, five scientists will be answering students’ questions and taking part in live chats, while they compete for the prize of 50,000 KSh to spend on their own project in schools. Let’s meet the scientists taking part…
