The Creative Science web site was set up (by JPH) in 1999 to inspire, encourage and help all ages and interests of people to make science experiments for themselves. It is now well established. This innovative site presents unique experiments and ideas which makes it essentially different from other web initiatives. The Sussex Logo branding is on its main page. The CSC website currently receives 1000's hits per month and many e-mail enquiries, some leading to collaborative projects in other areas of the world (e.g. e-w/s with Russel Taylor in a school in Maine, USA).
