Epic Engineering uncovers the technological challenges, creative problem-solving and collaborative efforts that drive extraordinary projects, revealing the bold ideas and teamwork behind achieving the seemingly impossible.
This unit engages students in an exploration of Epic Engineering through examining Queensland’s engineering marvels and the impacts they have on our lives. Students explore the forces that act on structures and how simple machines make life easier. This forms the basis of understanding prior to engaging with the 2025 World Science Festival show Epic Engineering which presents the future of groundbreaking innovation, featuring inspiring projects that made the impossible possible! After viewing the show, students design and create their own Epic Engineering project, with the chance to build and test their own structures.
From space exploration to deep oceans, the subatomic to monumental mega-structures, delve into the engineering feats that are shaping tomorrow’s world.
