【實用教育app】ACE Trails|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

ACE Engineering Trail @ King’s Cross is an augmented reality walking guide bringing to life the innovative solutions engineers have used to transform this area of London.

Download the app before you leave home from iTunes or Play, so when you walk from King’s Cross station, the app on your smartphone will alert you to the project nearest to you. Whether you’re a young person thinking about engineering as a career – and we hope you are – or someone with a curiosity about the world around you, engineers who have worked on many of the exciting projects around King’s Cross talk about the challenges and thrills of their job.

• Have you ever thought why there is a Platform Zero at King’s Cross?

• Or where the water goes after a heavy rainstorm in Granary Square?

• Or how a concert hall can be built next to railway lines – and still hear a pin drop?

The ACE Engineering Trail is perfect if you have half an hour, or an afternoon, to spare to click into a selection of the fifteen projects which are described.

This Trail salutes the engineer in this Centenary year of the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) and will show you how almost every aspect of our life is helped by using an engineer.

So we would encourage you to visit King’s Cross, give the Trail a go, by means of a simply click at any of the locations.

Alternatively if you’d rather listen off-location, use the app in manual mode to access all the films
