Restricted © Siemens AG 2015 Page 3 Siemens Siemens was established in the United Kingdom more than 170 years ago and now employs over 13,000 people in the UK. As the world’s largest engineering company, Siemens provides innovative solutions to help tackle the world’s major challenges. The Curiosity Project by Siemens The UK needs more engineers and through our Curiosity Project, we aim to bring science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to life, by supporting leading organisations that reach out and nurture the innate curiosity in young people and showcase the amazing and rewarding opportunities a career in engineering can provide. This workshop is part of the project and you can find more details at siemens.co.uk/curiosity-project.

Restricted © Siemens AG 2015 Page 4 Learning outcomes Discuss various mechanisms of shock absorption and how it’s used to reduce impact, in the context of the Mars Rover. Apply this knowledge and creativity to create a landing system in teams.

Restricted © Siemens AG 2015 Page 7 Design a landing craft In your group, design and build a ‘landing craft’ to get a raw egg safely to the ground. Discuss the equipment that you are provided with. You will drop the egg from desk height onto the floor – your mission is to keep it from cracking! Test your design using an object of similar weight to an egg.

Restricted © Siemens AG 2015 Page 8 Safe landing What characteristics did the winning landing craft have to make it the best? Would it be realistic on a real space craft?

Restricted © Siemens AG 2015 Page 9 Understand the problem Brainstorm a solution Plan itBuild it Test it (Break it) Try again Engineering design process

Restricted © Siemens AG 2015 Page 10 Failing to succeed Scientists and engineers don’t always get it right – there's sometimes an element of luck – even in real space programmes like the Beagle 2! A big part of an engineer’s work is to make it, break it, learn from it, and try again! Top engineers aren’t afraid to fail – making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn.
