Everyday engineering by Dallas Campbell
Dallas Campbell shows how you can get involved in engineering from your own home. This video includes three links to engineering:
He describes a way of making a paper aeroplane that will be a good long distance flyer.
Dallas talks about how bras require engineering design to enable them to be both comfortable and supportive. He explains how a bra manufacturer was involved in the first designs of space suits for NASA.
He talks about how engineering links to the production and packaging of foods. He gives the example of the bacon sandwich that was designed for Tim Peake to eat in microgravity on board the International Space Station. Both the bread itself, and the can it was contained in, had to be designed and adapted for spaceflight.
