Last week the Bank of England announced a public consultation to select a late British scientist to put on the new £50 note.

£50 Note Zone helps you and your students discover people from STEM history. It’s an online competition where living, breathing scientists and engineers champion their science heroes for your students votes, answer questions and try to convince you and your students why their heroes should be the face of the new note.

The Zone is open now, and your students can join the conversation from today, until 14th December!

To get started, please fill in this consent form on behalf of your students. We will then send you log in details for the site, and instructions on how to get your students online, to ASK their questions.

Live chats in this Zone will be scheduled as drop-in sessions on weekday evenings, where any students interested will be able to join the chat.
