This is a photo of Henry Duke holding a certificate that reads "I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here" with the name "Henry Duke" as "Most Voted Computer Scientist" under it. Alongside an NCCE logo. Next to him is a member of the team behind the I'm a... programme. The background is that of an office, with a high table right behind them, a white board and a poster with Tim Peake holding an I'm an Astronaut, Get me out of here certificate similar to Henry's. Behind all of this there's white wall.

Congrats to Henry Duke! The most voted computer scientist in I’m a Computer Scientist, Get me out of here this year🏆

It was lovely to meet Henry in Bath yesterday and to hear about his experience with I’m a Computer Scientist directly. Thanks for giving us a visit!
