Undergraduate Web Projects 2006
These voluntary projects were all done by Level II Chemistry students in the 3 week period between taking their final exams and receiving their results, June 2006. They were written with minimal formal instructions - the students were just told to 'teach themselves how to write a web page, and write something interesting on a chemical or scientific theme'. It was run as a competition, with cash prizes for the first 3 sites. The sites were judged on (i) Quality and quantity of scientific content, (ii) Design, and (iii) Internet awareness.
Note: These projects work best with Internet Explorer in Windows, since they were mostly written with MS Frontpage. If you use Netscape you may sometimes find a few strange formatting errors, or even crashes. Also, you may need the Chime plug-in to see the 3D molecular structures present on many of the pages. Some of the pages also require the Flash and Shockwave plug-ins.
The winning projects were:
- 1st Prize £150 to Christopher Magee for Chemistry on the Screen
- 2nd Prize £75 to Harry Bevan for Nanotechnology......using catenanes, rotaxanes and more...
- 3rd Prize £25 to Emily Campbell for Tamiflu
