    Popular Science - Young Scientist records increase in submission rates

    Good news I think....Close to 1,600 entries for BT Young Scientist 2010. This competition is and has been a very good extracurricular activity for the budding scientists and its great to see it growing..

    According to BT some 1,588 projects have been submitted for the upcoming exhibition proving that interest in science, technology, mathematics and engineering continues to grow throughout the country.
    Also think that the levels of participation across genders is a positive...

    According to the organisers 57pc of entrants are female and 43pc are male. Some 80pc of entries are group entries and 20pc are individual entries.
    ...and finally the addition of the link to commercial opportunities is a good initiative...

    BT also recently launched the Business of Science & Technology, a new programme that will give students the business knowledge they need to turn their innovative ideas into commercial opportunities.
