I’ve never visited Belfast. Now, engineering has brought me to Belfast. The past couple of days, I’ve been part of the 2024 symposium of the Engineering Education Research Network (EERN) for the UK and Ireland—and I got a glimpse of this lovely city. shannonchance.net/2024/06/18/dis…

It is always a pleasure to work on the @ewbuk Engineering For People Design Challenge and every year I am amazed at the teamwork and solutions that our @AstonEPS students deliver. This year is no exception and you can see their AquaHusk idea at crowdsolve.net/challenge/EfP-…

@pknighton67 @YoungCodersComp @STEMAmbassadors Thank you :)

Very excited about being a @YoungCodersComp judge this year. Thank you @STEMAmbassadors for the training today!

@SairaHussain90 Oh gosh! I do this too but it isn't until I saw it written down that I realised how crazy marking really is 🤪 I do have some excellent tunes on today to help though 🎶🎵🎶

Question for the educators: What do you do to get yourself (or your colleagues) through large quantities of marking? (I write this as I sit in a unicorn onesie in the hope that this will make marking more enjoyable).

@KnightbusSci Hot drinks and a change of scenery do help! Good luck!

@STEM_Becky Current mode: 📚

@PhysicsBianca Ooooh, I like that!

@DrVikkiBurns Yes! I'm all about looking for the positives and celebrating the wins 🥳

@STEM_Becky ...why you're doing it, and work on accepting that it's ok to have to do work we don't want to do sometimes :) )

@DrVikkiBurns 😂

@STEM_Becky I once offered myself one Ferrero Rocher per script marked. Made myself feel ill and had to leave the rest of the marking til I'd had a nap... 🤣🤣🤣 (on a more coachey note, track progress, self-praise for what you've done rather than criticism that you are behind, remember...

@BeckyMargetts Same 😂

It was such a pleasure to talk with @AstonPress about my research & being part of @STEMAZING1. I can't thank the @IMechE enough for supporting my place on the Inspiration Academy, I'm failing to find the words to express how great my experience has been and how much I have grown.

This thread brings much joy ❤️ Thanks @LNER

I ran an Engineering Ethics workshop this morning for the @AstonEPS students taking part in the @ewbuk Engineering for People Design Challenge. Their discussions, questions, decisions and justifications were inspiring. I had a super proud teaching moment I can tell you ❤️

And our students have risen to the task wonderfully! Now we take them back a step using What. How. Why. to explore the questions we need to ask as engineers before we dive into solution generation.

Day 1 for our EWB Challenge students - The students have just met their groups and Dr Sarah Junaid has set them off thinking about user centered design! What would you design? What would be a good solution for this situation? #EWB @ewbuk #EngineeringForPeopleDesign #TEWeek23
