Exhibition | Festival of Engineering

Join us for a showcase full of hands on demos and interactive exhibits that will let you understand how our engineers are working to tackle the climate challenge, improve health, harness the power of data and reduce inequalitites. 

Exhibition highlights include:

• 3D printed skulls - Discover what happens when engineers work with doctors to revolutionise medicine. 
• Acoustofab - Get a taste of magic with examples of captivating liquid levitation. 
• UCL Racing Fleet's eco-marathon car - An ultra-efficient vehicle which runs on hydrogen and is capable of over 5000 miles to the gallon equivalent.
• Cassava starch measurement - An innovative tool that enables rapid quality assessment of this tropical root vegetable, empowering farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. 
• Force sensing gloves - This glove provides real-time data to surgeons during procedures, which helps train future doctors. 
• Fabric Interaction: Fab Touch - Understand how manipulated fabric rubbing sound and pure tone sound alter your tactile perception of mid-air haptics texture roughness.
• Labrador Sea Sensor Buoy - This buoy holds sensors that offer Oceanographers vital info about our planet, and has survived extremely stormy seas in the ocean. 
• Mobile Driving Simulator - A hands-on experience, where you can experience autonomous driving and a haptic feedback seat.
