Held in London in 2011, over 30 000 people passed through the doors of the ExCeL exhibition centre to see the some of the best school student projects. These included CREST (creativity in science and technology) award winners and nominees for the Young Scientist of the Year award. Included in the report are lists of project titles and the level of award gained, with the hope that the ideas here may inspire more teachers to, in turn, inspire their pupils.
