Hi. My name is Evie, and when I grow up, I want to be an engineer. What is an engineer, you ask? An engineer is someone who

- asks a lot of questions;

- learns a lot about the world and how it works;

- runs experiments

- tests ideas through prototyping to learn even more;

- designs or creates things in order to make the world better;

- solves really hard problems; and

- a lot more.

Why do I want to be an engineer? Well, I want to be an engineer because I'm very curious about the way the world works. I like to solve problems. I want to make the world a better place. I'm also very creative. I want to create new and interesting designs that help people. This is what engineers do every day, so I want to be an engineer when I grow up.

But I don't have to wait until I'm a grownup. I can start learning and using engineering skills today.

I'm so glad you're here, and I'm excited to learn more about engineering with you!
