  Hi Matt – I think it’s not so much about training, but more about giving people an opportunity to experience doing science rather than just learning about it.
  
  Science lessons are really important but sometimes they can be a bit dry… getting in and actually doing something is much more fun 🙂

  I agree with Anna. If more people had the opportunity to experience doing Science, rather than learning it out of a book (which is also important of course), then it would probably inspire more people to take that path – or at least remain interested in Scientific topics that affect our everyday lives.
