      Well if we find life on Mars I’m pretty sure that will have to go in all the Science textbooks in the world! It could change how we think about how and where life evolved, and where else it could be and in what form, elsewhere in the galaxy and wider Universe…

      I honestly don’t think my work will impact students other than maybe (!) Postgraduate Research Students.

      I’m currently training 3 apprentices and a graduate engineer ATM and I’m teaching them to be better engineers and people

      I want them to succeed in life

      If you mean how will my work work benefit students, we actually know very little about the sea so all my developments in underwater robotics can help to get our robots deeper and discover more stuff. They are not only used for oil and gas, they can also be used for installing new renewable sources of energy, or harvesting important minerals from the ocean floor. Who know what we’ll discover next down there, but the underwater robots will no doubt play an important part in that.

      But if you mean how would what I want to do with the £500 benefit students, I don’t really know, but one small change might make all the difference (have a Google of the butterfly effect!) Maybe, just maybe my robot kits will inspire one person to become and engineer who might then go on to invent faster than light travel or something crazy like that! This could mean we could get to Mars in a blink of an eye to drop off Abbie’s rover! 😉
