Calling all Engineers…

Do you have a passion for engineering and want to share it with the world?

If you think you can be intriguing and entertaining while explaining an engineering concept in just three minutes then the FameLab engineering heats are for you!

In summary:

·       Explain a key engineering concept in just 3 minutes
·       If you succeed in winning over the judges & audience, you progress to the regional engineering final and ultimately to the UK Final, 23 April 2013 at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London.

·       You may not use PowerPoint. Props are limited to what you can carry on stage (there will be no time for set up)

For hints and tips see: http://famelab.org/uk/famelab-uk-2013/competition/hints-and-tips

If you make it through the heats to the local final you will need a second presentation (which can be on the same topic but must be demonstrably different in content).

TRAVEL BURSARIES are available to help with travel to both London and Birmingham heats. Please contact [log in to unmask] for more information.
