By Design Sports Science Programme

In-school event, age range 7-19

Science underpins our daily lives and sport is no exception. By Design offers two types of presentations that can be delivered in schools, as well as a supporting chemistry and sport website. The "Sport, Ethics and Self Engineering of the Olympic Games" lecture offers an exciting insights into the world of engineering and sport. The lecture aims to highlight the presence of engineering throughout sport and the ethical issues this raises. Students will have the opportunity to meet and engage in a lecture and debate with sport engineers and Olympic athletes, opening their eyes to the world of engineering and how it has helped change the theatre of sport. "The Science of Sport" presentation focuses on the human body, which is at the heart of sport, and understanding the body's chemistry and mechanics gives a great insight into how it works. The Chemistry and Sport website provides teachers with a variety of resources that highlight the chemistry and science behind many sporting events that run throughout the year. The website provides student handouts, teacher notes and presentations.
