Name: Sam
Company: Durham University
Role: PhD Archaeologist
Info: Sam researches how people acted and behaved in the past using innovative technology as well as a spade!
In Summary:
Meet Sam: The History Detective
Sam is a PhD archaeologist at Durham University. Being an archaeologist means he spends his days finding out how people lived and behaved a long, long time ago.
What does Sam do all day? It depends on the day!
• Digging Up the Past: Sometimes Sam works on building sites, excavating (digging up) old things from history.
• Science Experiments: Other times, he works in psychology labs. He mixes archaeology with science to test how people look at and interact with art.
What skills do you need? Sam says there are lots of skills you can use, but the most important one is having a vivid imagination. You have to be able to dream and imagine what people were doing in the past.
How did he become an archaeologist?
• Growing Up: Sam’s mum worked in a museum, so he was always around history. He even used to volunteer at Hastings Museum.
• School: He studied an A-level in archaeology (which is an exam you can take when you are bigger). Later, he went to Bournemouth University to learn even more.
• Rainy Days: Sam worked as a professional archaeologist for two years, but he got tired of standing in the rain! That is why he went back to university at Durham to do more research inside.
Why is his job amazing? Sam loves that every day is different. It is very exciting because you never know what you might find. One day you might find Roman mosaics, and the next day you could be holding a piece of pottery that no one has touched for 4,000 years!
Think of it like this: Being an archaeologist is a bit like being a time-traveling detective. You look at clues left in the ground to solve the mystery of what life was like for people thousands of years ago.
Name: Stuart
Company: Simfly
Role: Director
Info: Helps to train people in the different roles in aviation mainly from his mock up airport departure lounge and full aeroplane simulation venue
In Summary:
Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered how a giant airplane stays in the air? If you love planes, there is an amazing place in Darlington (in the North East of England) called Simfly where you can learn all about them!
At Simfly, you don’t just read about planes- you get to pretend you are actually working at an airport. Here are some of the cool things you can do there:
• Be a Travel Agent: You can work in a travel agency and help people plan their dream holidays.
• Work at the Airport: You can try out the check-in desk or work in security to help keep the airport safe.
• Join the Cabin Crew: There is a real Boeing 737 cabin with 18 seats! You can learn how to look after passengers and what to do during an emergency.
• Fly the Plane: The most exciting part is the flight simulator. You can sit in a real cockpit (the place where the pilots sit) and learn how to fly a Boeing 737-800!
The man who started Simfly, Stuart Ellton, has loved planes since he was a young boy in school, just like you. He wanted to be a pilot so much that he went to flight school to learn everything about big commercial planes.
He created Simfly so that children can feel inspired to work in aviation when they grow up. Whether you want to be a pilot, a cabin crew member, or an engineer who fixes the planes at Teesside Airport, this is a great place to start.
Did you know? While Simfly works with older students in schools, they also have younger children visit for birthday celebrations. Stuart says the best part of his job is seeing the big smiles on everyone’s faces before they leave.
