Activity: Types of Public engagement and outreach - Festival/Exhibition (Contributor)On the 14th of June, the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering hosted an IET Openhouse event where we opened our doors to the public to showcase the exciting world of STEM.
The Engineering Open House Week is a constituent part of the Engineer a Better World campaign by the IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), aiming to inspire children to explore the captivating realm of STEM and explore the wide range of innovative and rewarding professions available in modern engineering.
The event was tailored for children aged 5-13 and their parents / guardians, and we lined up three exciting and interactive activities for them to engage with. The NFI (Nuclear Futures Institute) gave a tour of their brand-new laboratory facilities, and also had some hands-on demos for children to interact with, including Lego Mindstorms and outreach equipment on loan to the NFI from Magnox, and the DSP Centre (Digital Signal Processing Centre) had the participants build their own torches and learn about Morse code, and then sent an encrypted Morse code message down an optical fibre for others to decrypt. Finally, Technocamps had them battle it out as code breaking teams to solve a number of mind-bending clues in order to open a box before other teams, or before their time ran out.
