Our visitors encouraged them to consider the many ways designers and engineers collaborate to produce products from initial concept to final outcome. Maartje explained her role as a product designer, while Charlotte shared her experiences as a mechanical engineer.

The girls were then set a design task - to create a product for a specific user while considering both practicality and purpose. Their designs were carefully thought through and Maartje and Charlotte were very impressed by the innovative ideas shared by the Year 4 girls!
