Slide 2: The Ultimate STEM Challenge
The Ultimate STEM Challenge We are asking students across the UK to take on the Ultimate STEM Challenge and win some fantastic prizes for their school! We’re looking for students aged 11 to 14 to put their STEM skills to the test, thinking creatively about applying forces to tackle real-life scenari
Slide 3: The Prizes
The Prizes There are some fantastic prizes to be won including: • A celebratory event at the Science Museum • An Ultimate STEM experience day • £500 for your school • Lots of Science Museum goodies.
Slide 4: Thinking creatively: using forces to work safely and intelligently
Thinking creatively: using forces to work safely and intelligently Science and technology enable human beings to achieve many things, including creating the products that make up the world we enjoy today – and those that will shape our future. All this needs forces: forces to help find and extract r
Slide 5: Focusing forces
Focusing forces • Can you explain what a ‘force’ is? • Can you name some different types of force? • What happens if the forces on an object are unbalanced? • ‘Force multipliers’ make work easier to do. Can you think of any simple force multipliers?
Slide 6: About BP
About BP BP is one of the world's leading international oil and gas companies.
Slide 7: Thinking creatively at BP
Thinking creatively at BP BP is constantly seeking creative ways of focusing forces to make it easier and safer to work in some of the Earth’s most extreme environments, from the bottom of the North Sea to in the air above the Alaskan arctic.
Slide 8: BP case studies
BP case studies The following case studies show real-life examples of BP and its technology partners thinking creatively to gather information, improve safety or keep things working in a range of different situations. In all of these cases, BP scientists and their technology partners have to use STE
Slide 9: Rescue Rockets
Rescue Rockets BP Oil and Gas Rigs – the North Sea. •Oil and gas rigs can be tens or even hundreds of miles away from land! •While emergencies are rare, every rig has many safety and escape features – like lifeboats and escape helicopters •Distress rockets or flares are a traditional signal for help
Slide 10: Rescue Rockets
Rescue Rockets Rocket flares •Rocket flares send a red light high into the air •Higher is better! The higher a rocket can reach, the further it can be seen. •Some flares use a parachute to remain in the air even longer •In the future rocket flares may include LED lights
Slide 11: Future Flight
Future Flight BP drones •BP needs to monitor landscape and equipment in remote places •For instance, in Alaska, shifting ice constantly changes the landscape and can damage equipment •Drones use sensors to spot areas that need repair and to create detailed maps of the land •They are small, lightweig
Slide 12: Future Flight
Future Flight BP Microsub Drones •Just as on land, BP needs to monitor the underwater environment •Microsubs are tiny autonomous subs (as little as 50cm long!) •Like some fish, they can work together as a shoal! •A group, or a ‘flock’, of drones may be able to launch a whole ‘shoal’ of microsubs. Th
Slide 13: Able Arms
Able Arms BP Seabed Oil Extraction •One challenging place BP extracts oil is deep the ocean •The seabed can be many hundreds of metres below the surface – much deeper than any diver can reach! •BP uses Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to control their equipment – underwater robots! •The ROVs are co
Slide 14: Able Arms
Able Arms BP ‘Marine Autonomous Systems’ •BP can also monitor the ocean floor using Autonomous-submarines. •An autonomous-sub uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology – it can control itself! •They can transmit massive amounts of data in near real-time •In the future autonomous subs may also be
Slide 15: The Ultimate STEM Challenge
The Ultimate STEM Challenge Now get ready to choose your challenge. Each challenge will put your STEM skills to the test as you think creatively to tackle some real-life problems to harness and control forces. Remember – each team can only choose one!
Slide 16: Rescue Rockets
BP operates oil rigs and ships around the Rescue world, often in remote places. While emergencies are rare, distress rockets or Rockets flares offer a visual signal that can be seen from many miles away. However, rocket propellants are not always good for the environment. Do an investigation to find
Slide 17: Future Flight
BP uses aerial surveys as one method Future for identifying potential new oil reserves, or to inspect remote equipment. Remote Flight controlled aircraft, or drones, can offer a lower cost, safer alternative to light aircraft. Do an investigation to find the best wing design for a remote controlled
Slide 18: Able Arms
BP uses remotely operated Able underwater vehicles (ROVs) to inspect and maintain seabed Arms equipment. These use hydraulic or motorised robot arms to grip and manipulate tools and controls. Do an investigation to find the best design for a simple robot arm and gripper.
Slide 19: How to enter
How to enter Working in groups of 2, 3 or 4: • Choose your challenge • Create a PowerPoint presentation or • Create a YouTube video showing how you approached your experiment Your teacher will register on the BP Educational Service website and submit your entry by 13th January 2017.
Slide 20: Judges’ criteria
Judges’ criteria We are looking for the following: • Excellence of method – have you followed a sound scientific method? • Communication skills – can you explain your work clearly, confidently and in a way that inspires others? • Creativity - have you approached your project in an intriguing and int
Slide 21: Sound scientific method
Sound scientific method To follow a good scientific method you should: • make a hypothesis • do your research • make sure your experiment is a fair test • can you replicate your results? • analyse your results • present your evidence and explain your conclusion clearly. To find out more about follow
Slide 22: Create a winning video
Create a winning video Your video should be no longer than 3 minutes. Remember the following: • Speak clearly. • Think of your audience – don’t waffle! • Don’t just talk – show us what you’ve been up to. • Introduce yourselves, your school and what inspired you to tackle the challenge. • Remember co
Slide 23: Create a winning PowerPoint
Create a winning PowerPoint Your presentation should be no longer than 20 slides. Remember to: • Write clearly – check your spelling and grammar. • Think of your audience – don’t waffle! • Include lots of pictures to show us what you’ve been up to. • Introduce yourselves and your school and what ins
