Mechanical Engineering: 3D Printing … And The Importance Of Doing What You Love With Dr Candice Majewski from The University of Sheffield

In this interactive webinar, Dr Candice Majewski from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Sheffield will discuss the use of Additive Manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing.

3D Printing is all over the news and social media these days, but what is it and why are so many of us excited about it?

During this session you’ll gain an idea of what it’s all about, and why it matters to us all.

Candice will also be talking about why it doesn’t matter if you haven’t quite found your ‘thing’ yet, and how to recognise it when you do!

Suitable for: Specifically Year 12 and Year 13 students studying Maths, Physics, Engineering and/or students who may be interested in studying these at university.

Lecturer Biography (Please click): Dr Candice Majewski

Preparation or Pre-Reading: We recommend that students consider some questions in advance relevant to the subject matter and their particular interests in further study of physics/maths/engineering.

The IT Setup: The setup is similar to Skype, using a pc and webcam, although students take part as a group with the image projected on a whiteboard rather than as individuals in front of lots of pcs. Dedicated videoconferencing equipment is also compatible if available to the school. We will work with your IT department to ensure everything is set up and working prior to the event. The sessions are generally limited to 4 or 5 schools to maintain the interactive nature of the experience.

Booking a Place: If you have a group of students that you would like to take part in this event, please contact us via email or via the contact form at the top right of this webpage (or at the bottom if on a mobile device). Subject to availability we will book a place for you. These sessions are free to schools and colleges to attend.
