Kites: A toy consisting of a light frame with thin material stretched over it, flown in the wind at the end of a long string. That’s what most of us think of when we hear the word ‘kite’ - but what if it could conjure up images of an egg that transforms into a massive flying dragon puppet.
Carl Robertshaw explains how he’s changed the way we not only think about kites, but how we use them in theatre, art, architecture and fashion. He shares some of the highlights from his career as a multi kite flying champion who now works on huge events like the Superbowl. Plus, we hear how some of his kites have even made it into space!
Dr Jonathan Browning and Dr Siofra Frost from the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Queen's University Belfast tell us about the prototype they’ve been working on for the If You Were An Engineer competition - a moving solar panel.
And thanks to young Cara for sharing her engineering idea with us.
