2 Make the Future Live Festival Wrap Up Pack We hope you enjoyed your day at Make the Future Live This festival wrap-up pack will introduce you to some of the innovative bright ideas featured at the festival, provide you with the answers to the energy Treasure Hunt and unlock some amazing engineering content for you to explore over the summer from real life engineering stories, to fun activities for you to try at home. Save the pack onto a computer and open in Adobe for the best experience. You will need internet access and sound for the videos.

3 1 Uncover the clues Did you complete the Treasure Hunt? Click the checkpoints below and uncover the answers. Make the Future Live Festival Wrap Up Pack 2 Career inspiration

4 2 Career inspiration Discover real life engineering career stories and see where a career in engineering could take you. See engineering like you ve never seen it before including careers in robotics, artificial intelligence and medical technology. Curious about how to become an engineer? There are different routes in to suit your interests and learning style from university to on-the job training check out this video from the Year of Engineering. Check out this film to learn about some of the different roles you could do as an engineer from creating lower carbon power stations, or making building more sustainable. 1 Uncover the clues 3 Whose crew are you?

5 3 Whose crew are you? Not sure engineering is for you? Take the Whose Crew Are You? quiz and match your skills and interests to different careers. As you probably saw at the festival, the best ideas are created by teams of people with different skills and interests working together, so here s your chance to discover the crew that s right for you! What are you waiting for? 2 Career inspiration 4 Break it to make it

6 4 Break it to make it Did you check out our reverse engineering activity before the festival? Reverse engineering involves taking things apart to understand how they work, to make the design better than before. It s such an important part of the design process that we had students like you reverse engineer a Shell Eco-marathon car at the festival too. Give it a go at home with some everyday objects just don t try it on your parents phone! And remember to always ask parents permission and ensure you ve taken relevant safety precautions before trying this at home. You will need: A screwdriver A small broken or old item, such as a wind-up toy, water pistol or a click pen A pen and paper Draw the item and label the parts you can see What shape is the item? What materials is it made of? Why? SEVEN STEPS TO BECOMING A REVERSE ENGINEERING PRO 7 Draw your own design based upon what you ve learned 6 Carefully put the item back together again Carefully take the item apart using a screwdriver 4 Draw the inside of the item. Label any parts you know 5 How do the parts work together? 3 Whose crew are you? 5 Are you a holiday maker?

7 5 Are you a holiday maker? Curious about engineering careers? Take a closer look with the Year of Engineering, a government initiative that s all about showcasing the amazing (and unexpected!) side of engineering. There s loads of helpful content, videos and activities for you to explore, including a chance to win some great prizes over the summer with The Holiday Makers, a series of weekly challenges launching later this July. What are you waiting for? Take a closer look today. 4 Break it to make it
