The Detection Zone was a themed zone supported by the Science and Technology Facilities Council. It featured five engineers:

  • Will Smith works at Daresbury Laboratory collecting data from the particle accelerator.
  • Lulu Buford works for Wood plc, an engineering partner for STFC, designing gas pipelines for a laboratory that detects dangerous elements in samples.
  • Fahim Dhalla works at CERN as a cryogenics mechanical engineer, testing superconducting magnets.
  • Chris Parmenter, the winner of this zone, works at STFC RAL Space designing cameras and other equipment to use in space.
  • Candice Basson is a PhD student funded by STFC using the Large Hadron Collider to look for the building blocks of our universe.

What is I’m an Engineer?

I’m an Engineer, Get me out of here is an online activity where school students get to meet and interact with engineers.

It’s a competition between engineers, where the students are the judges.

Students challenge the engineers over intense, fast-paced, online live Chats. Then they Ask the engineers all the questions they want to, and Vote for their favourite scientist to win a prize of £500 to communicate their work with the public.
