You have reached the end of this presentation - well done! What to do now? Carry on researching! Talk to your family and friends about what engineering is, what engineers do and ask them what they would ask an engineer! Meet and interview real engineers about their jobs and what inspires them! Think about a problem - big or small, local or global, for someone you know or the whole world - that you could solve or improve by inventing a machine or product or service! Illustrate your invention and then write a ‘Pitch Letter’ about what it is and the problem it solves. Tell us about the engineer you interviewed as well as something about you, the inventor-engineer! Have loads of FUN!!!
