      Ok, so a really cool tool (in my opinion) is a 3D printing machine. These are tools which deposit mainly plastic, but also other materials, in layers to build up shapes. When using plastic you can make more or less ANY shape!! Google ‘3D printing art’! You get some beautiful stuff 🙂

      Arduino… it is a very small microprocessor board that has these nice plugin boards called “shields” which you can plug to add functionalities to the board like Wifi connectivity, HD camera and many many more. There is a very big community online where you can find projects from creating a digital lock for your bed room to monitoring your plants hydration levels. On top of all that, you literally don’t have to be an electronics engineer to create a system with arduino but it is definitely a good tool to persuade you to become one! 🙂
