Well, both really, it’s a place where you get to talk to real life scientists (us lot) and we will try and answer any questions you have about science or just about anything else! The i’m a celeb bit comes from the fact that you get to vote for your favourite scientist based on their answers, or their profiles, or if you take part in a live chat and the person with the least votes gets voted off each day until there is a winner! It would be good to actually go to the jungle and do this tho I’m not sure how much internet there is in a jungle!

Hey Beth – it’s both! It’s a way for young people to find out more about science, and what real scientists do all day.
But it’s also a chance for you to have a say about something by choosing which of the scientists get the prize. The scientists have to impress you that their work is the most important!
We think that most of the time in school, everybody tells you what to do and you never get a say about anything. So this event is the other way round!
It’s also supposed to be fun:-) We hope you like it.

We could always arrange some extra things I suppose, where the scientsists have to eat cockroaches…? 😉
