Looking ahead to the year of engineering

With talks and exhibitions on everything from the practicalities of moving to Mars to the prospects of using DNA for data storage, New Scientist Live set out to challenge, puzzle and entertain its audience in equal measure. This show, now in its second year, is just one example of the plethora of interactive science and engineering engagement opportunities available.
