Here's what Scott said about it:

It was an honour to be nominated to receive the School Scientist of the Year award from the University of Lincoln for Computer Science, the experience was amazing. 

There was a fantastic talk delivered by the knowledgeable Dr Phil Sutton from the University’s Astrophysics team. He spoke about objects from outside of our star system. It was very informative about a topic I have never even thought about before and covered a wide range of information and discoveries while still being understandable.  

It was good to meet lots of other similarly minded people, who are also dedicated to producing the highest level of work. I had never considered the University of Lincoln before this, but it will now be a strong contender in my applications going forward, with an open day visit shortly on the horizon.
