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!

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

5 | Are you a holiday maker?3 | Whose crew are you?

Draw the item and label the

parts you can see

What shape is the item? What materials is it made of? Why?

Carefully take the item apart using a

screwdriver

Draw the inside of the item. Label any

parts you know

How do the parts work together?

Carefully put the item back together

again

Draw your own design based upon what you’ve learned
