The Oriel Science Flow Lab, in collaboration with Swansea University’s Complex Fluids Research Group, is an engineering outreach project aimed at mentoring engineers from South Wales, and together will develop fun, interactive activities showcasing engineering concepts in fluids and granular materials, such as Oobleck, elastic fluids, and water-repellent sand. These hands-on activities will be delivered in schools and public outreach events.
The project aims to engage the public, inspire students, and provide engineers with valuable mentoring experiences, while addressing under-representation in STEM and enhancing future educational and career paths.
