I’m an Engineer, Get me out of here is back! In March students at nearly 50 schools will be interacting with engineers across 3 different zones.

Between 6th – 17th March school students will put the engineers through their paces in fast-paced live chats and probing questions on everything from artificial limbs, to giant robots and 3D printing.

For the latest news and announcements about the event, find us on Twitter, @iaegmooh, and follow the hashtag, #IAEUK.

Let’s meet the engineers and schools taking part…

Artificial Body Zone

This zone is funded by Wellcome.

The Engineers

Daniel Morse | PhD Student, Cardiff University

I look at how fungi and bacteria from the mouth interact and cause infections, how the cells in the mouth respond, and infect my own home-grown living 3D model of the roof of the mouth (which looks pretty cool under the microscope!).

Ana Gallego | Materials Engineer, Blatchford

I make artificial legs for amputees.

Zach Welshman | PhD Student, University of Leeds

I use a big expensive computer to see how the tiny bones and muscles in the foot move when you run around.

Sophie Cox | Lecturer, University of Birmingham

I use new materials and methods to make bone implants.

Todd Burton | PhD Student, University of Edinburgh

I am trying to find the best environment to grown a kidney in.

Alejandra Aranceta | Research Associate, University of Strathclyde

I work developing robotic arms for people that have lost their hand.

I am an Automatic Control and Robotics Engineer designing control systems.

Siobhan Duncan | PhD student, The Edinburgh Centre for Robotics

I research the possibility of using thousands of robots to complete tasks, such as searching for people after an earthquake, to save more lives when things go wrong.

Dmitry Dereshev | PhD Student, Northumbria University

I give robots to people and ask them about their experience – all to understand how people befriend robots.
