Sport and my STEM Career

This is an opportunity for your students to learn about how STEM links into Sport! During this 45 minute session you will hear from Rob a bio-mechanical engineer who's passion for STEM and sport has fused together in his job role. The session will include:

• A 10 minute talk on sport equipment and how science and engineering are used in the aerodynamics of sports balls, rebounding/spinning balls and sports shoe grip.
• A 10 minute talk on para-sports and running blades looking at the engineering behind these.
• A 10 minute talk sharing what Rob does in his role at DePuy Synthes. DePuy Synthes has a range of “sports” prostheses for ankle and shoulder injuries. Rob will share these products with us and explain why/when they are used.

The session is aimed at students aged 14 -17.
