Northumbria University - Inventive English resources
The Inventive podcast uses storytelling to encourage listeners to find out more about engineers and what they do. In each episode, Professor Trevor Cox interviews an engineer, and then a writer uses that interview as inspiration for a piece of fiction. The podcast brings together engineering fact, with fiction in an imaginative and enthralling way.
The Inventive English Resources link the engineer and the story together and would be ideal for cross-curricular ‘drop down’ weeks for science and English departments to work together.
