Rap Science Challenge

We teamed up with Jon Chase, science rapper, and the Institute of Physics, to challenge young people in Swindon to tell us what they want science to tackle for their future.

They could rap, sing, present, perform a demo or tell a story. No powerpoint allowed, just them and something they were passionate about. Jon picked his favourite, which was streamed live at the online Festival of Tomorrow in 2021.

See how they got on...
