FameLab 2008 ArchiveFameLab is an initiative of the Cheltenham Science Festival. The aim of FameLab is to encourage young scientists (21 to 35 years old) to inspire and excite public imagination with a vision of science in the 21st century.
The competition is all about finding new faces in Science, young people who will be able to develop their ideas and presentation skills for a TV audience. The model is familiar from TV programmes like Pop Idol and Mega Star – you have just 3 minutes to prove yourself to a panel of expert judges, with only the best going forward to the next round, and the talk should be entertaining and original, scientifically accurate but also engaging to a non-scientific audience.
