WizCo 2018 Young Scientist Award
 * Hogwarts students,
 * Are you interested in technology? Do you wonder how Muggle electricity and electronics have been integrated into wizarding society? Do you want to know how Lincliff City works?


 * This award will give you that opportunity. Hosted by WizCo, the leading company in wizarding technology, the Young Scientist award will give one lucky little inventor the chance to intern alongside wizarding's brightest minds: you can see the space programme, experiment with potions in the laboratory and learn to code new websites and widgets for Witchagram and future projects.


 * What do you have to do to win this achievement? Well, it's as simple and as complicated as this: invent something.


 * Applicants must design and create either a:


 * • Spell
 * • Potion
 * • Electronic gadget
 * • An app for WizardNet


 * The application process is in two stages:
 * 1. Submit a written design for your invention. Include the basic concept, materials/coding used, potential uses and benefits within the company and wizarding society as a whole.


 * 2. If picked, come to the WizCo Building. The best applicants will be picked to come and create their invention in the heart of WizCo, with full access to any equipment and technology needed. You will be competeting against other wizards and witches your own age, so make it as detailed and as efficient as possible!


 * The window for applications will be open for several months, so you have plenty of time to brainstorm your ideas. If you have any further questions, ask your Head of House or owl Cedrica Ackerman or Clarence Bishop at the WizCo Building.

Best of luck,  Cedrica Ackerman

What is this?
The Young Scientist Award is an award given by WizCo to a student who produces the best plans and invention, and it will earn the student a chance to intern at WizCo for the school year, as well as possible secure a job position there.

What do I have to do?

 * First of all, comment down below with your characters who you would like to submit. You can submit as many characters as you like, but each one must come up with and write up/design a different project each. The window for applications will close at the end of July 2018, so you have until then to come up with your idea.


 * From July 2018, you must submit a report on your invention. We aren't expecting a dissertation, just a decent explanation of your character's creation given in a word bubble on this blog, or whatever location is decided on. Kib and I will pick which we think are the best out of the applications.


 * Then, characters will be invited to present their creations at the WizCo building. It's completely up to you how well it goes, whether everything runs smoothly or things blow up and fall apart along the way!


 * The winner will then be decided and given the internship at WizCo, as well as their invention being sold at the WizCo shop.


 * If you have any questions, feel free to ask Kib and I!
