Yes I would give it a try. Though it depends what subject it is.. I would like to give it a try to take chances.
I would take the chance to do it because then it would pay for my School and University. I would take the chance because I am a risk taker and I like a challenge. I like science so I would do. I like how science does not have any limitations and is so vast you can do anything with science.
I agree with Amani. It depends on what subject, but I would definitely do it because it would be a very good experience and also, it would pay for school and university, so that would help me extremely in the long run.
I would definitely take this opportunity, not because of any recognition for making an important scientific discovery, but because mysteries are what keep my brain working. Finding the answer to a question like this would give a lot of life fulfillment. But I would not be able to do the hours of research, I have a slight case of ADD
I would definitely take a chance and do it. Opportunity doesn't knock very often so when it does take it. The prices and recognition that you get are great, but the experience you gain through it are greater.
