Bio-Inspired Engineering: From Gulls to Drones - This workshop was delivered to a group of 20 Year 6 to Year 8 students. They learnt how engineers and ecologists are exploring flight strategies of urban gulls to improve drone technology. In conjunction with the Urban Gulls Project, University of Bristol Fluid and Aerodynamics Research Group.

IntoUniversity initiative (University of Bristol): Bio-inspired engineering

Published:

I along with members of the Urban Gulls Project at the University of Bristol Fluid and Aerodynamics Research Group gave a presentation to a group of 20 children (aged 12-14) on how engineers look to the natural world for design inspiration. We then gave the children miniature drones and mathematical modelling problems for them to engage with after the demonstration.

Micro:Bit Virtual Pet (Tamagotchi)
