University (OU) is proud to commemorate National Engineering Day on 13 November by celebrating extraordinary engineering talent.</p> <p>In collaboration with the Royal Academy of Engineering, a striking new piece of digital artwork will be virtually projected onto the OU’s Walton Hall building in Milton Keynes highlighting the contributions of four inspirational engineers.</p> <p>The digital artwork will be showcased virtually using the OU’s new <a href="https://ounews.co/around-ou/university-news/ou-secures-5-8m-to-build-extended-reality-studio/?_gl=1*19j0vj1*_gcl_au*MTAyNjk4MzU2OC4xNzMwMTI3NDc0*_ga*MTYwOTc2NDI1NC4xNzI5NTExMzEx*_ga_Z74G55VLY4*MTczMDk5OTk5My4xMi4xLjE3MzEwMDAwMzAuMjMuMC4xNTYzMzA3NDIz*_fplc*TElEaFlQVlp2MTlHMmJPbkRCQjRZWFp5JTJCWDNnaGFYSUl0RHpSUkdzeXlCMk05UWZOeFo1YWNRM3l3VUxZNWwwSUxLTDRKUUt4bXhhTjNaejlESHVTeklDMEx4Z0tnM0NiTXZ1TUglMkZGMlNEdW5DZDQlMkZoaERxMXlvWFVLRkJnJTNEJTNE">XR Studios</a>, a state-of-the-art extended reality production facility that has helped the university expand its remote and distance learning with augmented and virtual reality.</p> <p>The digital artwork places a spotlight on OU graduate Alice Kan, an inspiring figure in the engineering community who completed her Professional Certificate in Management at the OU in 2009.</p> <p>Central to this year’s National Engineering Day celebrations is also the unveiling of a statue of Alice in London, created by renowned visual artist Kelly Anna.</p> <p>Alice, a Macclesfield-based manufacturing engineer, played a crucial role in the mass production of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine and continues to work on vaccines for diseases such as Ebola at the Sabin Vaccine Institute.</p> <p>Alice said about her statue: “Being honoured in statue form is a very unique experience and not something many people can say. I really hope my statue encourages people to understand more about engineering, what engineers do and why it is a great career for anyone who’s got a curiosity for wanting to make things work better.”</p> <p>The statue marks a historic first, as it is among the very few in the UK dedicated to living female engineers. Only 3% of UK statues represent non-royal women, with even fewer highlighting contemporary engineers.</p> <p>Professor Josie Fraser, Interim Vice-Chancellor of The Open University, said:</p> <blockquote><p><em>“We are immensely proud to see our graduate, Alice Kan, celebrated for her transformative contributions to engineering and public health. Alice’s journey from OU student to a pioneering engineer is truly inspirational, and it is always rewarding to see our alumni go on to achieve such remarkable success.</em></p> <p><em>“We hope the public art features across the country inspire young people to see engineering as a creative and fulfilling career that’s open to everyone.”</em></p></blockquote> <p>The art installations will be available for public viewing across the UK on Wednesday 13 November. The OU’s Walton Hall artwork can be experienced virtually on <a href="https://youtu.be/Zk3szQjGlsU">YouTube</a>. Alternatively, everyone is also invited to visit ThisIsEngineering.com to view the various UK artwork installations online and learn more about the four inspirational engineers that are featured.</p> <p>In addition to the virtual reality artwork, the OU will also be sharing videos from engineering colleagues throughout the day on social media.
