  Hi Caoimhe. In academic research, I have contributed to our understanding of how planets are formed. More generally, I have done outreach activities with students and kids of all ages, helping them get interested in Science. That’s really important because we need plenty of scientists around in the coming years.
  
  As for the money, it would benefit many schools which could use my Raspberry Pi’s to learn how to analyse data and program. Both of these things are fairly critical to know for a job in Science. It might give students in those schools an advantage.
