An energetic and interactive careers-driven show introducing engineers and scientists who turn superhero powers into real-life wonders.
Just what exactly do engineers and scientists do? How do planes fly? How can we see through the dust in space? How do engineers make playgrounds safer to play in? How are they saving lives, and the planet?
Meet six real-life young engineers and scientists working in Wales. Each one has made a sixty-second video about their job and what they enjoy most about it. These are interspersed with discussion from a live presenter and interactive demonstrations.
This is a careers-driven show introducing students to a wide range of careers available in engineering and science, and to show them that engineers and scientists are people just like them!
The show also covers gravity, forces, energy, light, space, the environment, and materials. Our experienced presenters can adapt to suit your audience's needs.
