      Tony Stark – i.e., the character who built Iron Man. He’s a mega successful businessman with an amazing workshop full of robots and cool gadgets and he builds awesome technology and flies around in it saving the world. Hard to beat that!

      If you’re looking for a real-life version of Tony Stark, then Elon Musk isn’t far behind – he’s created Tesla Motors (the world’s best car company) and SpaceX (the world’s best space company) and he’s on track to put a million people on Mars by the end of the century!

      This one’s easy – my dad! My dad is a brilliant engineer and I grew up watching him building and inventing and tinkering. There’s no problem too tough for him – he can build or wire or solder anything! When I was little, he would build me all sorts of toys and tree houses and when I was a bit older, he would teach me how to build things and we would build them together. My favorite memory was when we built a dog house for my dog, Shadow!

      It has to be my dad too 🙂 he’s a bit of a legend when it comes to designing things and problem solving. If your parents aren’t engineers though, that’s why we’re all here!
