Young scientists who will try to explain a scientific topic to the general public in three minutes are invited to try their luck at the FeyLab competition. The qualifiers: on March 24 at the Technion, on March 30 at Hamada and on April 2 at the Science Museum at the University of Jerusalem
Spring is coming again and with it the FAMELAB competition or as it is called in Hebrew "Science in three minutes". The British Council, the organizer of FayLab competitions throughout Europe, stated that since the competition started two years ago, young scientists have discovered that they have what it takes to revive science before the general public, and this audience hears new voices from Israeli science.
Next week begins the round of preliminary competitions where anyone interested can try their luck, choose a scientific topic and illustrate it without transparencies. A team of judges will choose in each competition the three candidates who will advance to the preliminary competition.
For those interested, the first preliminary competition will be held at the Technion on March 24th, followed by March 30th at the Center for Scientific Education (HMDA) in Tel Aviv and April 2nd at the Bloomfield Science Museum in Jerusalem. All nine finalists will have the opportunity to participate in a scientific communication workshop that will be held on the 22nd-23rd in Hamada, where the final will also be held on May 4.
The winner will participate in the PayLab competition finals in Chatham, UK on June 6.

Encouraging the youth to excel in science is fine and important.
It's a shame there aren't more competitions like this
Thanks
You should probably call the British Council and find out
I so want to go, but it says there that journalists can't go - and I'm a journalist... But absolutely not in the field of science! Avi Bilizovsky, do you know if in this case it is possible to access?
