We have had an amazing experience and learnt so much about science, planning and teamwork from this project. We believe that this type of project should be available to more young people in the UK. We were lucky because our project was sponsored, but others may struggle to raise the necessary funds. We would like to try to raise £1,000 to donate to other science projects. We have named our balloon and we have decided to name our fundraising after John Dalton. John Dalton is a brilliant scientist who was born locally to where all the members of our team live.
