What’s happened so far in I’m an Engineer this March

Biomedical engineer Daniel Morse in Artificial Body ZoneĀ is enjoying talking to school students online.

Students and engineers in March’sĀ I’m an EngineerĀ are in the middle of discussing everything from the skills needed to be an engineer, to robots as the ideal housemates, toĀ bonding over baking, to 3D printing a moon base.

After the first seven days,Ā there’s been:

  • 1,231 school studentsĀ logging in to three zones: Ā Artificial Body, Robotics, Ampere
  • 612 questionsĀ sent to the 18Ā engineers by students
  • 526 votesĀ cast by the students to support theirĀ favouriteĀ engineers

And that’s not to mention the almost uncountable levels of conversation in theĀ 26Ā live chats that have taken place. See all the engineers and schools taking part here.

Engineers can have fun???!?!? Read Emma’s answer in Ampere Zone.

If all this has got you motivated for some engineering engagement you can get yourselfĀ involvedĀ in the next I’m an Engineer, taking place 12th–23rd June 2017 using the buttons below:

This March,Ā there’s still much more to come. From 3 pm on TuesdayĀ the pressure cranks up asĀ the first engineer is evicted from each zone,Ā withĀ more following each day after. Who will survive to stay in the running for the Ā£500 prize? Find out before anyone else fromĀ the announcement in the staffroom. Best of luck to all the engineers!
