(1) Fail Better at the Science Gallery
The goal of Fail Better is to open up a public conversation about failure, particularly the instructive role of failure, as it relates to very different areas of human endeavour. Rather than simply celebrating failure, which can come at great human, environmental and economic cost, we want to open up a debate on the role of failure in stimulating creativity: in learning, in science, engineering and design.

(3) Zoom! An Exploration of Size, Scale and Structure in Engineering
Dr Ian Johnston is fascinated by the links which exist between engineering at different scales, and “Zoom” is a fast-paced mixture of lecture, demonstration, experiment and audience participation, exploring the challenges and opportunities for engineers along a journey from the unimaginably tiny to the incomprehensibly large. Ian is a Lecturer in Engineering at the Open University and has worked as academic consultant for TV programmes including “Battle of the Geeks”, “Electric Dreams” and seven series (so far) of “Bang Goes the Theory”. He achieved worldwide fame (or notoriety) as the man who crushed LEGO bricks to measure their strength...
