      I’m not too worried about winning it. It is fun to take part and help you guys understand a bit more about what is involved in being an engineer.

      The winning is more about giving back something. I think each of the ideas that the 5 of us have had are a great use of the money so it won’t really matter who gets it.

      Winning isn’t important to me. Each of us will do something worthwhile with the money. I’m just happy to be taking part and getting some experience with STEM outreach.

      I love travelling to schools and talking about Rosetta and space to children and teenagers. I guess it helps having my own 2 children (and 19 nieces/nephews) who are always bugging me with questions. So if I won the competition, I’d very much look forward to visiting a secondary school and a national school, meeting the teachers and chatting with the teenagers and children there.
