Platform’s inviting you to join an egg hunt with the chance of winning £250 in OU course vouchers.

There are six eggs hidden across Platform and each of them boasts a letter. Find the six eggs, rearrange the letters and let us know which word the eggs spell by sending an email to platformeditor@open.ac.uk by no later than Friday 29 April.
To make it a bit easier, as this is such a vast site, with each egg there’ll be a clue to help you find the next one.

Here’s the first clue… if you were thinking about a change of direction from office worker to teacher you’d probably take a look at this page.

Please make the subject of your email ‘Egg hunt comp’ and include your answer, full name and address. Correct entries will all be entered into a draw and the winner will receive £250 in OU course vouchers, to spend at their leisure.
