Kirkwall Molecule Hunt Competition 1st-7th September 2022 In Association with Orkney International Science Festive, Brought to you by Science@Cwaben
This will be the twelfth successive year of the Molecule Hunt in Kirkwall.
This year OISD have decided to do a hybrid format for this year’s event, having it both in person and online for those that are unable to attend. The activity will run from Thursday 1st September to Wednesday 7th September.
As usual we have selected 18 businesses in Kirkwall town centre. These are listed below and their locations are shown on the map. Each of these has been assigned a molecule which is associated with the nature of the business. A model of each molecule has been constructed and images of each of these molecules, along with a description of how it is used, is shown on the Hunt Form. Each business has taken a photograph of their molecule and posted this on their Facebook page or website. As some of the businesses don’t have a suitable FB page the picture of their molecule in its location is being displayed
on the Kirkwall BID Facebook page – these businesses are: Cycle Orkney, Clan Cancer Support and Visit Scotland (Tourist Information Centre).
Your challenge is to visit each business, or their Facebook page and identify which molecule is on display. You then complete the entry form by entering the name of the appropriate business beside each molecule name and return your entry form to the Tourist Information Office by noon on Wednesday 7th September. (or via email to [email protected])
Paper entry forms can be collected from the Tourist Information Office.
Don’t forget to add your own contact details and any comments you wish to make about the competition.
All entries received before noon on Wednesday 7th September will be checked for accuracy and correct entries will be entered into a draw to select the winner. The winner will receive a Molymod® molecule building kit http://www.molymod.com/sets.html, kindly donated by Philip Spiring of Molymod.
