The Nightbuilder

This resource is based on the Inventive podcast. The podcast mixes engineering fact with fiction. Each podcast features an interview with an engineer. In this activity, structural engineer and author Roma Agrawal is the inspiration for C M Taylor to write 'The Nightbuilder'.

Short audio clips about the engineer provides context and can be played during a lesson. Students may wish to listen to the whole podcast in their own time using a QR code. This resource would be useful in a cross-curricular collaboration between science and English departments.
