Entry to all attractions 

======================

There are 20 places on this Trip, If we have more than 20 people sign-up we will randomly select them.   

The S-Cool Lab Workshop is very competitive please read the following statement from CERN:

"Years of experience have shown that students who are highly motivated for S'Cool LAB tend to benefit the most from their experience.
Also, because English is the language used during S’Cool LAB PLUS+ programmes, students should be able to understand written and spoken English to at least B1 level.
Therefore, please upload a file where your students demonstrate, in English, their motivation for S’Cool LAB Experiments. This can be in any format (video, text, picture, slideshow, …).
Let your students surprise you (and us) with their creativity! " 

Any students who create something that shows we are a motivated group that will benefit from the S-Cool Workshops will be given priority on attending the trip.  (if more than 20 students submit content we will judge the best content).. Please look at the S-cool website and speak to Joe for advice about the content
