For us, we needed to teach ourselves how to wire and solder a
breadboard. We needed to test water for turbidity (cloudiness of
water) and salinity (conductivity of water). To do this, we needed
to build sensors and be able to attach them to our arduino – our
robot’s brain so to speak.
We worked together, and we asked for help. This is how engineers
approach problems. We were proud when we finished, but one
of the two sensors didn’t work. We tried again. This is also how
engineers approach problems. We never stopped trying again.
Eventually, our sensor could take values.

moment
Engineers are constantly learning. There is always something
to be done. That means you’re never bored!
