Architecture
Using only spaghetti, tape and string. You will work together in groups to design the tallest free-standing tower that can support a marshmallow without collapsing.
Architecture
This creative workshop gives you a chance to imagine and design a space just for you.
Engineering
Students will become an engineer for the day and create an indoor air quality detection device to test the air quality of their classroom by programming Raspberry Pi’s.
Engineering
Gain hands on and practical experience of wiring and programming an Arduino to develop a prototype medical device! Students will experience a day in the life of a Health Engineer through the activity, and learning about Electrical, Biomedical and Software Engineering with real applications.
Engineering
This workshop sheds light on the challenges faced by women in disadvantaged communities, particularly around maternal health. We explore how engineering can be used as a vehicle for addressing these issues in the context of Timor-Leste.
Engineering
This workshop explores the difficulties faced by women such as access to education, maternal health, gender-based violence and water and sanitation. Students investigate how engineering can be used to address the issue of limited maternal healthcare in the context of Timor-Leste.
