IF you can dream—Science & Ideas Festival

launches schools poetry competition

Science Oxford is proud to be supporting this year's IF Oxford festival and the IF Oxfordshire schools poetry competition especially. The competition invites young people aged 5£­16 to hand in a poem on any science topic.

The poem can be in any poetry style you like. It doesn't have to rhyme (ѺÔÏ), but your poem needs to be under 150 words and about science. It could be about a scientific idea or discovery; a science lesson or a scientific problem that is important to you; a famous scientist, or just why you love science!

The competition is open to any child at primary or secondary school, or home­schooled in Oxfordshire, and will be judged (ÆÀÅÐ) in three age categories (Àà±ð)£º

School Years 1£­2

School Years 3£­6

School Years 7£­11

There are lots of prizes on offer. The winning entrant (²ÎÈüÕß) in each age category will receive a copy of The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris.

The classes of the winners of the two primary school categories will win a half­day science show or workshop presented by our amazing education outreach team. The class of the winner of the secondary age category will win a tour of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

The winners and runners­up (ÑǾü) in all three age categories will have the chance to perform their poem at a special event at the new IF Science and Ideas Festival over the weekend of October 16/17.
