It's all about the fun of learning in new and exciting ways. Winners won prizes including game consoles, computers and mp3 players. Entries were from individuals or teams of up to 4 members and aged between 6 and 16 years by October 2008. Entries were reviewed and those successful were invited to London to present their work to a panel of (friendly) judges and a live audience with Johnny Ball (pictured) as compere. Those invited also received gifts and the entry that, in the opinion of the judges and audience, demonstrated the most “Y” factor was invited to present in the main Handheld Learning Conference.
