  Of course! By the way you know the prize is not for me right? It does not just go in my pocket! It has to be used for showing science to people – that is why I will buy telescopes with it and use it to pay for visits to places to talk about astronomy! 😀

  I agree with Evan, this event has been an amazing thing to be part of, and yes i would have done it if there was no prize money, but i’m doing this so i can hopefully show you young people all about the exciting world of science, and the prize money is going to help big time!
  Thanks for all your questions and votes! 🙂
