Science education

I go to schools as a science ambassador because I want to make pupils understand what science can mean in connection with technology. Our daily lives benefit enormously from technical progress and we have subconsciously accepted much of it as normal. I want to raise awareness of this at schools so that young talent can be encouraged to make this progress possible in the future.
