The North West constituency of the Society of Spanish Researchers in the UK (SRUK/CERU) would like to use the International Day of the Book to present the contest Science me a story, their very first contest of short scientific stories for children.
This initiative, sponsored by the Lilly Foundation, aims to promote the use of stories as a tool to communicate science for children. Using short stories, a familiar format for children, they intend to stimulate their interest in science and their imagination. Tales are not just about dragons and princesses, but also about crazy experiments and amazing discoveries.
The contest is open to adults who want to write a short scientific story for children up to 12 years old. There are two categories, Spanish and English. These and more details and guides to take part on the contest will be introduced on Manchester .
