After getting good GCSE grades in Science and Maths, a 16 year old Chris Aplin had no idea what he wanted to do as a career, but after delving in to the world of engineering, saw the fascinating sides to what this career path could offer. He graduated in July 2018 and just two months later landed a role with Network Rail as a Graduate Civil Engineer working in geotechnics. Join Chris on Monday 4th May and hear how he creates computer visual models and uses his knowledge of materials of the earth to help design solutions that ensure railway tracks are suitable for trains to run as they should.
Meet the real life Iron Man on Wednesday 6th May at 10.30am. Richard Browning, Founder & Chief Test Pilot at Gravity Industries decided he wanted to fly. Human-powered flight was, he knew, “a very eccentric realm.” Nonetheless, it fascinated him and many design sketches and even more test flights later, his flying jet suit was born. Reaching a blistering world record speed of 85.06mph, tune in to Richard’s online interview to hear how his idea became a reality.
