Engineering Open House Day – Episode 3: Transport | STEM fun for kids

Duration: 1 hr 9 mins
Publication date: 12 Aug 2021
Part of series Engineering Open House Day

Abstract

STEM for kids, both educational and fun! And in this episode, it's all about transport. Engineering Open House Day is all about highlighting the important roles that engineers play in everyday life, with participating venues and organisations demonstrating the creativity and excitement behind engineering careers.

Each hour in our Engineering Open House Day marathon, will delve into a different area of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), and uncover what it is like to be an engineer today!

Episode 1: Aerospace
Episode 2: Electricity
Episode 3: Transport
Episode 4: Energy
Episode 5: Innovations

Professor Danielle George

“As engineers and technicians, I think we all have a duty to talk about our passions to inspire the next generation.”Danielle George is Professor of Radio Frequency Engineering at the University of Manchester and a science communicator. Her expertise in radio frequency engineering and microwave communications is applicable to broad range of scientific and industrial sectors.She has worked with NASA and ESA on the development of instrumentation for researchers exploring the Big Bang. Her most recent work on broadband amplifier design at 116GHz is state-of-the-art and pushing the very limits of semiconductor technology.“For as long as I can remember I was always interested in science – from playing with my chemistry set as a child to studying things under a microscope. My passion soon branched out into astronomy after watching an eclipse with my family.”An ambassador for STEM, she gave the 2014 Royal Institution Christmas Lecture, co-founded and developed the Manchester Robot Orchestra as a citizen science initiative, has given TED and TEDx talks, and was awarded the MBE in 2016.“For me, it’s not just the legacy aspect, it’s about telling the stories of the incredible difference makers around the world who want to get involved and inspiring the next generation into solving engineering challenges.”
Ella Podmore

Ella Podmore is a Materials Engineer for luxury British supercar maker McLaren Automotive. She is responsible for all the material investigations in the business across all development phases of the company’s supercars; from concept drawings, all the way to customers in the field. Balancing her time between experiments and leading technical meetings, Ella created this department from the ground-up and plans to demonstrate the importance of materials in the automotive industry even further. As the leading STEM ambassador for McLaren, Ella helped launch the recent competition McLaren Automotive ran with BBC Blue Peter asking children to design their ‘supercar of the future’ and was one of Autocar’s Top 10 ‘Rising Star’ in 2019.
Andrew Smyth

I was born in Belfast and grew up in a small town called Holywood, in Northern Ireland. I hopped across the Irish Sea to study Engineering at the University of Cambridge and for the last 7 years have worked at Rolls-Royce, where I research Future Aircraft Concepts. A self-confessed jack of all trades, in my spare time I love to bake, sing (both chorally and in musical theatre), travel and ski. There is also quite a bit of eating. Applying for The Great British Bake Off was one of the best things I ever did. Becoming the precision engineer who bakes is something I'm embracing with both hands as it brings together my 2 loves - food and science. I regularly write, produce and present "bakineering" shows across the country, and am pursuing my dream of becoming an engineering presenter. If you need a baked good engineered, I reckon I'm your man. Check out the Media page for an idea of the kind of things I get up to.
