Entries wanted for the 2012 European CanSat competition http://www.cansat.eu/
The European Space Agency (ESA) is holding a Europe-wide competition for schools to create a working satellite within the confines of a soft drinks can. The chosen projects will compete in the final in Norway in April 2012 when the selected 10 satellites from all over Europe will be launched by rocket to the height of about 1 km and will carry out some real science.
ESA have allocated one guaranteed launch slot to the winners of the Scottish Cansat Competition to be held for Scottish schools between September 2011 and March 2012. The competition is open to pupils aged 16 and over. Your school could be there!
This is a fantastic opportunity to have your school compete and hopefully win a prestigious Europe-wide science competition. Please respond to Dr. Paul Lyden (Paul_Lyden@BTInternet.com) by 7 September if you are interested in taking part.

The purpose of the film strand is to provide young people from all backgrounds with opportunities to develop their skills, talent, creativity and confidence whilst also developing their knowledge, understanding and appreciation of film & digital media. We will do this by investing in opportunities for young people to work together on quality, youth led film & digital media projects with industry professionals. In addition we welcome proposals from organisations to provide opportunities for young people to showcase and celebrate their work with a focus on learning and development.
