      Hi Rachel 🙂 I’ve written a little bit more on my profile if you click the ‘read more’ link to expand it.
      I already go into lots of schools around the country, talking about astronomy and giving demonstrations. We have this incredible inflatable planetarium to show students the night sky! I’ll definitely carry on with this whether I win or not, but the money would help us to buy some new equipment. I’d love to do something that meant all students who are taking part in IAS benefit too, though. Maybe making movies when I go to observatories, doing more online chats, whatever you guys think would be interesting!
