Abstract

‘Guess my job’ explores the roles that engineers play in our everyday lives and asks children from a Primary School in Bedfordshire to guess what type of engineer they are and what they do as part of their role by identifying certain objects and tools that make it possible.

In this fun video aimed at primary school children, the students talk to Alfie from Fairfield Control Systems. Alfie explains about the work Fairfield Control systems do to prevent flooding in our towns and homes, and how this is all linked to engineering.
