      I think there are a lot of tricky ideas in science that wouldn’t be so tricky if people could find a simple way to explain them to people, so that’s what I want to do. A good image or visual explanation is often better at explaining something than a pile of words, and if I can get an idea across in a poster then it can be seen by lots of people who see the poster.

      So my goal is to design some posters that show a complex idea in a simple way – perhaps the idea of how stars and planets form, or the idea of how the Sun is powered. Then I want to print lots of these posters and distribute them freely to schools so that children can see these posters and learn interesting things from them, and hopefully be inspired to do science as well!
