      Being an engineer makes me feel very creative and also makes me think very carefully. I have to think about different ways to make things work better, for example with the robot I have to make I’m trying to figure out a way to make it lighter at the moment because it’s a bit too heavy for kids to carry. But you also have to think about how things are going to look when you do have to make them. You need to think about who is using it and what they’re using it for and make sure that your design is able to let them use it properly. The robot I’m making is for kids so I have to make sure that the kids like the look of the robot but can also pick it up and carry it if they want to.
