      I always enjoyed making things. You have to practise to be really good at it. If you find it fun you won’t even realise how much you are learning.

      I’m not sure – I always enjoyed it for sure. My very first project I did in primary school was about car engines. None of my family are technical so I don’t think my parents took much notice if/when I ever built things – I was usually encouraged to play sports rather than make stuff so I didn’t really get the opportunity to do it until I got a bit older.

      No,
      I think first you are good at breaking things . I remember taking apart my twin’s remote control car only two days after he go it. It never went back together in the same way. He was very upset over it.

      You get better over time, you learn lots from other people and by doing things. I am a big fan of learning by doing and not by just reading.

      I always enjoyed making thing or fixing stuff, but i dont think i was ALWAYS good. You learn more when something is going wrong then when something is going well!! It even depends on the type of thing: if you ask me to make cake…I am pretty sure I still have problems because I do not like cooking!! But if you ask me to fix a computer or to build an electric circuit, I will enjoy more!!

      I always enjoyed making things so I guess that is why I was always good at it. There is so much you can learn while doing it and you will have something to be proud of in the end.
