Not only is he an aerospace engineer for Rolls Royce, Andrew Smyth is also a bakineer - first of his kind! Bringing together his passions for both engineering and baking, Andrew coined the term, and is now on a mission to create cakes that are both delicious and fully functional. In this episode he explains how the two worlds are actually linked more closely than you’d realise, he tells us about the incredible creations that have come out of his Netflix series Baking Impossible, and he shares his experience baking a rotating cake for Prince William.

Francesca’s Unicorn Health Bot is the prototype star of this week. As the name suggests, it looks like a unicorn, but it also serves an important function in hospitals, monitoring the vital signals of young patients. We hear from Francesca, and from proto-type team member David Knapton from The University of Sunderland.

Thanks to the children from Homefield Prep and St Mary’s College in Derry, who shared their engineering ideas with us.
