Creatively creating the materials of the future will deliver public engagement activities that embrace creativity and creative thinking to allow young people and families to explore innovation in material design.
Using the Bragg Centre for Materials Research at the University of Leeds as a platform, the project will connect engineers and artists to work together and explore innovation in materials design. Supported and trained to develop material for an interactive web-based resource, Engineers will share the creativity and imagination of their materials research with the public, including videos, demonstrations, interviews, games, an open competition and an engineering creativity bag. These resources will engage community groups, youth groups and their families, with the competition forming part of a public exhibition in Yorkshire, showcasing the innovative advanced materials developed by the engineers, captured through the imagination of members of the public.
