👏 Congratulations! 🥳

Henry has taken part in 66 Chats this year. He has brought insight into his job in aerospace and defence – from waking up at 6am to work on computer programmes and applications to casually flying in a Chinook. Henry has openly shared tips for students on writing a CV, choosing subjects or career paths – mainly saying: Choose what you enjoy!

A few words from Henry

It has been a real pleasure taking part in Chats with students from around the country through I’m a Computer Scientist, Get Me Out of Here this academic year, and to come away as the most voted Computer Scientist was a completely unexpected honour!

While all the questions that I have been asked have given me an opportunity to reflect on both my professional and personal life, the real winners are the students who ask those questions. I really want to thank them, not only for all the votes but, more importantly, for all the excellent, considered and sometimes even off-the-wall questions I have been asked!

My thanks also go to the whole I’m a Scientist team for the fantastic work they do to run such an amazing service.

While I’m still formulating a plan for how to spent the prize money,  I am really looking forward to lots more chats next year!

How is the winner chosen?

Each student has 1 vote to give to a computer scientist each academic year, and whoever gets the most votes, wins! It’s as simple as that.

But wait, there’s more: The winner earns £500 to spend in further STEM engagement!
