      To explain what engineering is like. You can build almost anything from Lego (they’re built Star Wars Death Stars and working microscopes and even the Queen!), which is a bit like engineering I think. You can build almost anything from engineering and I want to show this by letting people build what they want from Lego.

      Also building things from Lego is a lot like additive manufacturing/3D printing – you add blocks in layers. I hope I can show the benefits of additive manufacturing/3D printing with Lego so that people understand why we’re interested in it.

      What do you think the good things about 3D printing are? What would you like to build?
