[Male voice off screen:  “Science is that gathering of knowledge. That inch by inch journey to that all knowing”]

[Image changes to show someone water skiing and then changes back to show the flashing faces of the award recipients]

Male: I think the future of science and engineering will be pretty awesome. It’s pretty exciting right now as it.

[Image changes to show an award recipients project]

Female: I love medical science as well as engineering.

[Image changes to show a young male riding and then changes to show him seated and talking to the camera]

Male: I love the idea of working at the cutting edge of technology and that’s just incredibly fun, I love that.

Male: I want to the doctor that improves the human condition.

[Image changes to show five girls playing the bagpipes]

Female: I think the future is based almost completely around STEM, science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

[Image changes to show an award recipients project]

Male: I’ve always had an interest in earthquakes and plate tectonics and this seemed like an interesting concept to flesh out.

[Image changes to show a young male training on the beach]

Male: This project really inspired me to push that dream forward and pursue a career in medicine.

[Image changes to show a young female and her project]

Female: I’ve seen, first hand, people living in third world communities without the basic necessities of power and clean water. I wanted to create a device that solves these two problems in an inexpensive and easy to use device.

[Image changes to show a young male seated and talking the camera]

Male: I did this project with a friend, and our project centred around the GRACE satellites, which is a pair of satellites that orbit the Earth, collecting information about changes in the Earth’s gravity.

Female: My project was entitled 1.9: A Possible Treatment for Alzheimer’s.

[Image changes to show young male and his project]

Male: Well, I’m using a microphone array and a system called sound localisation.

[Image changes to show a young female. Off screen a female voice can be heard “I really like chemistry”]

[Image changes to show a young male seated in front of computer screens and other devices]

Male: I taught myself to develop inexpensive prosthesis.

[Image changes to show a young female playing volleyball]

Female: I would try to create assistive technology for people with disorders such as Down syndrome.

[Image changes to show a young male seated and playing a video game]

Male: There will be many scientific breakthroughs in all fields and I think it will be really interesting to see what these breakthroughs are.

[Image changes to show a young male working on his project]

Male: The way that we conduct experiments is going to change, but that core scientific method is definitely going to stay.

[Image changes to show a young female running]

Female: In the future, science and engineering will take another leap forward and make our lives better.

[Image changes to show a young male playing basketball]

Male: I think science and engineering would be increasingly reliant on robotics and fusion reactors and quantum computers.

[Image changes to show a young male seated and talking to the camera]

Male: In the future I hope to graduate as an astrophysicists.

[Image changes to show a young male talking the camera]

Male: I won’t presume to know anything about what it would be like in the future, only that I’d like to be in the middle of it.

[Image changes to show a young female seated and talking to the camera]

Female: If I was the smartest person in the world, I would want to solve the problem with the lack of clean water in third world countries.

[Image changes to show a young female seated and talking to the camera]

Female: Solve the problem of world hunger. Harnessing this issue as soon as possible is vital.

[Image changes to show a young male talking to the camera]

Male: Eradicate all nuclear weaponry.

[Image changes to show a young male talking to the camera]

Male: I would want to solve the problem of superficial judgement of other people.

[Image changes to show a young male mountain biking]

Male: Science and engineering would both benefit greatly if they just did more to make people believe that science can be for anyone.

[Image changes to show a young female standing in a field of horses and cows]

Female: Hopefully in the future science will lead me on a path to benefit other people. I mean, they say one person can change the world and hey, it could be me (chuckles).
