Young Crossrail Educational Resources

In this project, we designed four programmes for Young Crossrail ambassadors to present to Key Stage 3 students across London. Each programme is designed to link science, technology, engineering, and maths principles to real world examples within the Crossrail infrastructure project via hands-on activities which can be easily adapted to meet the needs of varying class abilities and dynamics

Engineering a Bamboo Bicycle

The primary objective of this Major Qualifying Project was to design and construct a bamboo bicycle that could be made available in developing nations and be assembled quickly with minimal training. In order to meet this objective, the project was decomposed into three main components: bicycle joint design, manufacturing fixture design, and safety and testing. The project team was divided into three corresponding groups, utilizing axiomatic design to break down each of the three components. The team successfully manufactured a prototype bamboo bicycle using the Joints Team\u27s system of gussets, the Jig Team\u27s manufacturing fixture, and the bamboo selected by the Safety and Testing Team
