Chaos and pattern: Adventures in Science and Engineering

制作6部系列电影，传达工程学和科学是令人兴奋和值得的信息。该项目不针对性别，但所选择的例子，例如生命科学/工程界面，将吸引女性。电影标题是(1)Paddleworm机器人：仿生冒险，(2)蝴蝶光：光子学和电信冒险，(3)混沌寻宝：混沌理论和折叠岩石冒险，(4)女孩的新腿：组织替代冒险(5)帮助糖尿病：生物化学冒险(6)无限范围：冒险继续。这些影片聚焦于机械工程、生物化学、化学工程、数学和物理等领域的教授及其学生的工作。其中包括与外科医生和学生的互动。这些例子描绘了科学和工程面临的一些挑战，以及这些领域的研究将对社会做出的贡献。影片(4)、(5)和(6)都以女性为主要参与者。已经确定了一支专业和高素质的制作团队。已经进行了初步拍摄，并制作了一部试播片。需要资金将这些资源转化为高质量的电影，分发给学校。

To produce a series of 6 films, of transmittable quality to convey the messages that engineering and science are exciting and worthwhile. The project is not gender specific, but the examples chosen, eg across the life sciences/engineering interface, will appeal to females.The film titles are (1) The Paddleworm Robot: Adventures in Biomimetics, (2) Butterfly light: Adventures in Photonics and telecommunications, (3) The Chaos Treasure Hunt: Adventures in Chaos Theory and Folded rocks, (4) A Girl's New Legs: Adventures in Tissue Replacement (5) Help for Diabetes: Adventures in Biochemistry (6) Unlimited Scope: The Adventure Continues.The films focus on the work of professors and their students drawn from the fields of mechanical engineering, biochemistry, chemical engineering, mathematics and physics. They include interaction with surgeons and school children. The examples portray some of the challenges facing science and engineering and the contributions that research in these areas will make to society. Films (4), (5) and (6) all feature women as principal participants.A professional and highly-talented production team has been identified. Preliminary filming has been undertaken and a pilot film produced. Funding is required to translate this resource into high quality films for distribution to schools.
