6. What is Engineering?

8. Engineering Habits of Mind (EHoMS)
Which Engineering Habits of Mind will you use today in the challenges?
Explain background.

9. Engineering Design Process

10. Imagine & Plan

11. Air pollution near your school…
Find your school on the map
Are there roads near you that are red or orange?
How does this make you feel? Write words around the map that describe your feelings.
Compare this to the map of Greater Manchester. How do you feel about the difference between your school area and the whole of Greater Manchester?
Red lines = roads going above the legal limit of air pollution
Orange lines = roads that are at risk of going above the legal limit of air pollution

12. Civil engineer
Chemical engineer
Electrical/ software engineer
Automotive engineer
Materials engineer
Road diversions
Public transport
What will happen when the sensors detect illegal levels of air pollution on the roads near your school?
Designing new fuels
Designing a chemical to remove air pollution
App design to warn/ inform
Traffic light system diverting cars
Different types of engineers
Designing cars that do not emit CO2, nitrogen oxides or sulphur dioxide
Teachers – it is up to you to decide if you want your pupils to work in 1 big group or 2 smaller groups
Designing materials that could absorb air pollution or stop people breathing it in

13. What will happen when the sensors detect illegal levels of air pollution on the roads near your school?
Pick one of your ideas to pitch
Plan a 60 second pitch that you will give to the rest of the groups that includes:
- What is your idea?
- How does it work?
- How does it solve the issue with air pollution?
Practise your pitch

14. 60 second pitch & question time

60 second pitch & question time

15. Create & Improve

16. Look at the plastic collected… Why is plastic a problem?

17. Why might pupils in your school feel lonely?

18. Using the plastic you have collected, make something that can help young people in your school that may feel lonely.
Could be to connect with other people or with nature
Possible suggestions include games (bowling, skipping rope, etc…); toys; musical instruments
Teachers – it is up to you to decide if you want your pupils to work in 1 big group or 2 smaller groups

19. Using the plastic you have collected, make something that can help young people in your school that may feel lonely.
Plan a 60 second pitch that you will give to the rest of the groups that includes:
- What is your idea?
- How does it work?
- How does it solve the issue of loneliness in your school
Practise your pitch (there will be 2 pupils that will be staying with your creation)

20. Go to other groups around the room: Look at what they have created
Using the plastic you have collected, make something that can help young people in your school that may feel lonely.
Go to other groups around the room:
Look at what they have created
Listen to their pitch
Complete the feedback form giving 2 stars and a wish

21. Evaluation... Each school will have 2 evaluation sheets:
Tally boy’s responses on one
Tally girls’ responses on the other

22. Congratulations on completing The Greater Manchester Engineering Challenge 2019!!!
