      I think science and engineering can help us answer some crucial questions and help solve some crucial problems. Some important ones, in my opinion, would be:
      – helping us all to live fully off green energy and get better at reusing and recycling materials
      – helping the medical field in developing new ways to detect and treat diseases
      – helping us understand better how certain diseases occur, so we can stop them from happening in the first place
      – helping the world be more connected with each other, both through the internet and through making travelling easier and accessible for everyone
      – …
      In short, I think science and engineering can help us make the world a better place for everybody.

      Wow this is a big question! Being a little older I have seen the changes that have taken place over the past 40+ years, and I think that lives will be completely changed over the next generation or two.
      I hope that it doesn’t take away people’s drive to create and make things.

      Science is always changing everything! Everything that doesnt grow naturally out of the ground is here because of science. So I’m sure we’ve got many changes to come!

      I think the others have answered this really well. Science will definitely change the future…just look at how scientific advancements have gotten us here today. It’s super exciting to think of what could be achieved in the next 10 years! maybe we’ll be on Mars…
